Tcast to invest 100 billion won in content business

South Korean content creation company Tcast announced on Monday that it will invest over 100 billion won in the company’s original content. Tcast currently operates 10 cable channels, including E Channel, Screen, FashionN, and CineF, as well as art movie theater Cine Cube.

Tcast has recruited Chief Producer Jo Seo-yun, Producers Je Young-Jae, Lee Byung-hyuk, Jeon Se-gye, Lee Ji-seon, and Bang Hyun-young since the beginning of this year and created a new production group. Jo Seo-yun is a producer who has directed “We Got Married” and “Radio Star.”

The production group will showcase its first original series that focus on the retro style popular music, “Top Goal Rhapsody: Can K-Pop be translated? (translated from the Korean title),” this year.

CH View will broadcast a story about those living in a seaside village while FashionN will launch “In Star Live Season 3” next month, featuring the lives of social media influencers.
