Netflix Survey Finds 67% of Respondents Interested in Visiting South Korea
Netflix research found that 67% of surveyed members around the world were interested in visiting South Korea.

Stories may also help audiences feel connected to places they have never visited.

Netflix senior director of APAC production Sung K. Lee said stories set in Korea, rather than scenery alone, help attract visitors.
Creative Asia opened on Oct. 10 at Dongseo University’s Centum Campus, marking its third consecutive year.
