Eleven domestic broadcast content pieces utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology will enter Asia's largest media content market in December. The government plans to support the introduction of these works and promote overseas investment and exports.
On September 25, the Broadcasting Commission and the Korea Communications Agency (KCA) announced that 11 domestic broadcast content pieces have been selected for overseas distribution support in connection with the '2026 Asia's Largest Media & Entertainment Content Market (ATF),' which will be held from December 3 to 5.
This initiative aims to showcase a variety of domestic broadcast content genres that leverage AI technology and support their entry into international markets.
This year, four AI-based production support works, including 'New Director Kim Yeon-kyung,' and seven AI-utilized planned programs, such as 'Unforgettable Duet 2,' have been selected, totaling 11 pieces. The selected works encompass various genres from planning to production stages.
'New Director Kim Yeon-kyung' employs AI de-aging technology to transform the appearance of actors into their younger selves while maintaining their facial features, visually expressing growth narratives.
'Travel Method of a Man' utilizes the diffusion text-to-image technique, generating high-quality images without noise based on text input to replace scenes that are difficult to shoot on location.
'Unforgettable Duet 2' uses 'Oasis AIX' to create photographic materials based on testimonies from participants and implement recollection videos.
The overseas distribution support project for broadcast content linked to Asia's largest media and entertainment content market aims to promote creative and competitive broadcast content from domestic broadcasters and production companies to expand exports.
Since 2024, the Broadcasting Commission and KCA have introduced AI technology-based broadcast content, attracting the attention of local investors. Support for investment consultations and promotions with local investors will be provided for the selected works this year.
