CJ ENM expands K-content push in London with new partnership
CJ ENM, a major Korean entertainment company, has formed a partnership with the Korean Cultural Centre UK and the Korea Creative Content Agency to expand Korean content presence in London. The partners announced a memorandum of understanding and launched Curated Korea 2026, a program running in October 2026 featuring film screenings, literature events, food and networking opportunities aimed at professionals and the public.
What changed
The three organizations signed an agreement to deepen collaboration and to present Curated Korea 2026 in London. The event runs from October 1 to October 21, 2026, at venues including the Korean Cultural Centre UK, Foyles Charing Cross Road and the Garden Cinema. It features screenings of several Korean works and live discussions with creators.
Who is affected
The program targets London audiences interested in Korean film, literature and cuisine, as well as professionals in the cultural and entertainment sectors who may participate in talks and networking events. Local venues and partner organizations in London will host screenings and discussions, potentially drawing attendance from both residents and visitors during the October window.
Practical next steps
People in London can check the Curated Korea 2026 schedule and venue details through partner organizations’ announcements. Interested attendees may reserve tickets for screenings such as The Ordinary Jackpot and Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, and look for related discussions with directors and creators. Cultural professionals can look for signs of enhanced collaboration between Korean cultural groups and UK institutions in future events.
Limits and questions
The report comes from The Korea Times describing the partnership and event lineup. Details such as complete schedules, ticket availability, and specific programming may be updated by organizers. It’s not clear from the source whether additional partner organizations will join or whether more screenings will be added beyond the named venues and titles.
