Netflix Korea is turning its tenth anniversary into a slate announcement, not just a fan event. The two-day “Netf-Janchi” (Netflix Feast) runs October 24–25, 2026, at Seoul’s Oil Tank Culture Park, ten years after the service launched in South Korea in January 2016.
In-person entry was free but sold out across two booking rounds on Naver Booking. The main panels will stream live on Netflix Korea’s YouTube channel, so the event is also a global trade moment. Netflix says more than 210 Korean titles have entered its global Top 10 since tracking began, which is why the Korea slate now gets a flagship reveal of its own.
What the slate showcase will carry
The Saturday, October 24 “What Next?” stage is the centrepiece. It is expected to include first looks, cast appearances and production updates for the titles Netflix Korea is betting on next:
- All of Us Are Dead Season 2 — the headline K-drama return ahead of its 2027 release.
- Solo Leveling — live-action and screen adaptation projects tied to the webtoon and anime hit.
- Grand Galaxy Hotel, Possible Love from Lee Chang-dong, Tantara (Slowly, Intensely), and Beauty in the Beast.
Why it matters for buyers
Netflix has used its tenth-anniversary events in Japan, South Africa and Italy to widen local slates. The Korea edition follows the same playbook: a sold-out fan festival that doubles as a live global announcement. That gives media planners early visibility on titles that could become global inventory, especially ad-supported and franchise placements.
The weekend also looks back at the shows that built the export pipeline—Squid Game, D.P., Hellbound, Mask Girl, Physical: 100, Culinary Class Wars and KPop: Demon Hunters—and pairs that library equity with new announcements. The retrospective will be hosted by Kim Shin-young, and a live spin-off of Netflix Korea’s YouTube variety show will feature Park Hae-soo and Yoo Byung-jae, alongside fan stages such as a sports day with Physical: 100 winner Amotti and a puzzle challenge with Go grandmaster Lee Se-dol. Netflix will publish a ten-year digital archive on October 23, a day before the festival opens.
What to do with it
Treat the October 24 showcase as a content calendar signal for 2027, not just fan service. The live stream includes the retrospective panels, the “What Next?” slate stage and closing performances with artists including Rain and AKMU. K-dramas and anime adaptations often move from local launch to a global window; All of Us Are Dead Season 2 and Solo Leveling are the strongest early indicators of where promotional energy and ad inventory will flow next.
If you plan around K-content, block the date and watch the slate reveals like a buyer, not a fan.
