Tving Unleashes K-Dramas in Japan, Asia-Pacific
27 Jan
Summary
- Tving expands global reach by launching K-dramas in Japan and Asia-Pacific.
- Disney+ Japan and HBO Max in 17 Asian territories will host Tving content.
- Tving's curated content hub now includes non-original series from external broadcasters.
Tving is significantly expanding its global footprint, establishing itself as a prominent international K-content hub. The platform has launched a new slate of Korean dramas in Japan and across the Asia-Pacific region.
These dramas are accessible through dedicated Tving-branded sections on Disney+ Japan and HBO Max. This initiative extends to 17 countries and territories within Asia-Pacific, offering a curated selection of K-content to a wider audience.
Notably, this marks the first time Tving's branded hub will feature non-Tving original series produced by external broadcasters. This expands the diversity of Korean titles available to global viewers.
Representative titles include MBC's "The Judge Returns," which premiered on January 2, and JTBC's upcoming "The Practical Guide to Love," scheduled for release on February 28. Both are exclusive to Tving locally.
"The Judge Returns" achieved early success, ranking third on Disney+ Japan in its debut week. Tving aims to strengthen its role as a K-content hub through global partnerships and robust distribution channels.
Tving initiated its overseas expansion strategy last year. Since November 4, 2025, Disney+ Japan has featured Tving-curated Korean content. HBO Max launched its Tving-branded hub on January 2, 2026, in 17 Asia-Pacific territories.
