LOS ANGELES – WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. (Nasdaq: WBTN), a leading global entertainment company and home to some of the world’s largest storytelling platforms, will join industry leaders at CJ ENM’s inaugural K-Entertainment Industry Summit to discuss the growing influence of Korean content in the global entertainment market on Thursday, May 14, 2026 in Los Angeles.

Panel: The State of Korean Storytelling and IP in Hollywood

Thursday May 14 | Los Angeles

Korean dramas have evolved from a niche import to some of Hollywood’s most sought-after intellectual property. Fueled by the global success of titles like Squid Game and sustained demand on platforms such as Netflix, Korean dramas and the stories behind them are no longer simply imports — they are now a key part of the development pipeline for Hollywood. Increasingly, Korean IP is entering the U.S. through English-language adaptations, format remakes, and co-production models, including projects inspired by series like Marry My Husband.

Hear from those working closely in both Hollywood and Seoul on how they are bridging the gap between these two powerful content creation industries. Those on the ground floor of development and production will be able to speak to what is working, what has changed as the industry shifts, and what the future holds.

Speakers:

  • Sera Tabb (Head of Global Television; WEBTOON Production)

  • Danielle Kreinik (SVP, Television; Jerry Bruckheimer Television)

  • Jon Wax (EVP, International Original Television; Disney Entertainment)

  • Moderated by Cynthia Littleton (Co-Editor-in-Chief, Variety)

The K-Entertainment Industry Summit will bring together a select group of senior executives and creators shaping the global evolution of Korean entertainment across music, film, television, and global brands. The Summit features panel conversations with leaders from AEG Presents, Amazon Music, Disney Entertainment, HYBE AMERICA, Interscope Records, Moët Hennessy, Variety, WEBTOON Productions, and Jerry Bruckheimer Television (JBTV).
