iWill Media

iWill Media (아이윌미디어) is a South Korean drama production company founded on December 20, 2010 by Kim Jong-shik, a former executive at KBS and Pan Entertainment. Headquartered at the KBS Media Center in Yeouido, Seoul, the company is one of Korea's established mid-tier drama producers, credited with over 21 television series spanning romance, melodrama, and medical thrillers. Kim Jong-shik founded the company with a focus on programming for public broadcasters and cable networks, building relationships with KBS, MBC, tvN, and JTBC over the years. iWill Media operates as a full-service production house covering development, production, and distribution licensing for Korean and international markets. Among its notable productions are Just Between Lovers (2017-2018, MBC), a melodrama about two trauma survivors played by Won Jin-ah and Lee Joon-ho that received strong critical praise; Gold, Appear (2017, KBS2), a family drama series; Doctor Detective (2019, OCN), a legal-medical thriller; and Blooming Days (2018), a romantic comedy. Its highest-profile recent project is Jae Yi's Young In (2026), a prestige drama starring Lee Young-ae and Yoo Ji-tae that marks a major escalation in production scope. In July 2022, iWill Media became affiliated with Terapin Studios under the NPX Capital group, providing additional financial resources and access to international co-production networks. The company also manages select talent for drama-adjacent activities, including actor Yook Sung-jae for solo projects outside his group commitments with BTOB. With a consistent output of two to three productions per year and a catalog that spans lighthearted romance to tense crime procedurals, iWill Media occupies a reliable position in the Korean drama production ecosystem.
