Netflix’s original Korean content that attracted viewers worldwide, such as Kingdom, Sweet Home, #Alive, and The Uncanny Counter, all based on homonymous webtoons, are representative examples. Reflecting these trends where the rise of OTT platform has made a shift in the film and media industry, the Busan International Film Festival newly added an ‘On Screen’ section that screens breakout OTT series that are soon to be released, such as Hellbound (Korea), My Name (Korea), and Forbidden (Thailand). Also, the interest for Korean and Asian IPs are leading global industry professionals to the E-IP Market, and the Asia Contents Awards, an award ceremony for outstanding TV, OTT, and online content throughout Asia which celebrates its third edition this year, both organized by the Asian Contents & Film Market (ACFM) of the Busan International Film Festival. In the past 9 years, E-IP Market presented around 160 original IPs, including webtoon, web drama, web novel, as well as traditional content such as books in Korea and expanded its content to Taiwan and Japan by partnering with the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and the Visual Industry Promotion Organization (VIPO) in 2019. Previous selections of the E-IP Market have shown great achievements by securing various adaptions deals. Novels such as Burning Heart (2020 Selection) and Abyss (2019 Selection) made TV adaptation deal with BON FACTORY, a subsidiary of CJ ENM, and film adaptation deal with REDPTETER FILM, the production houses of the film Train to Busan and Peninsula respectively.

A variety of works has been broadcasted as drama series such as Item (Webtoon/2017 Selection) on MBC and Sun-Am Girls Detective Club (Novel/2013 selection) on JTBC. Transmedia adaption deals apart from film and TV are also notable. Web novel Sprinter: Underworld (2016 Selection) was published as a book and is in production for a webtoon series, and Super String (2015 Selection), an original webtoon IP was released as an RPG mobile game in May 2021.
