Chen Yiyang had previously been very interested in South Korea's film and television industry.
Because the quality productions from South Korea's film industry were indeed quite numerous. However, ever since Netflix entered South Korea, Korean directors have been complaining year after year that the film scene is dying, and no investors are willing to invest.
According to the usual domestic explanation, Netflix is accustomed to using experienced veterans, leading to a lack of growth opportunities for the new generation of Korean film and TV producers.
Additionally, Netflix avoids Korean taxes through commissioning productions, making it difficult for grassroots workers in Korea's film and TV industry to receive subsidies.
But Kim Dong-wook offered another perspective.
"Serves them right, those film industry scoundrels deserve no investment."
Kim Dong-wook cursed as he shared his experience.
Last year, he invested in the Korean end-of-year drama king "Queen's Tears."
