Next Entertainment World
Next Entertainment World, better known as NEW, is one of the key distribution and content companies in contemporary Korean film and television. Founded in 2008, the Seoul-based group expanded from film investment and distribution into drama, music, theater, and broader content business, becoming a regular force behind high-visibility Korean releases. NEW sits in the middle of the commercial pipeline where financing, packaging, marketing, and distribution all matter, which is why its name shows up so often around scale titles. On Humint, the company is part of the industrial backbone behind a Korean spy film that found a second life on Netflix's global chart.
