- Chorokbaem Media Co., Ltd. is a South Korean entertainment and digital media content production company that develops, produces, and distributes television dramas, broadcast programming, and multimedia content. Founded in May 1998 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates across core business segments, including Broadcasting Program Production, Broadcasting Channel Distribution, Artist and Talent Management, Media Commerce, and Real Estate Leasing. Chorokbaem Media supplies prime-time programming and intellectual property to major terrestrial networks, cable television channels, and global over-the-top streaming platforms serving domestic and international audiences.
The company provides a comprehensive suite of media production and entertainment services; its core offerings encompass full-cycle television drama and series production, including screenplay development, casting, directing, sound design, visual effects, and post-production; animated series development and co-production; celebrity, actor, and creator management through specialized talent agency subsidiaries; broadcast program licensing, format syndication, and digital distribution rights management; media commerce and brand integration solutions, including product placement, original soundtrack publishing, and intellectual property merchandising; and commercial property leasing operations. Notable television drama productions in the company portfolio include The Penthouse: War in Life, My Mister, Red Balloon, The Slave Hunters, All In, and the BTS-universe inspired drama Begins Youth.
In recent corporate developments, Chorokbaem Media underwent a major ownership and governance restructuring following the acquisition of a controlling interest by South Korean private equity firm Q Capital Partners. Following the initial purchase of a 39.93 percent equity stake from CT Property, Q Capital Partners expanded its controlling interest to over 60 percent through open-market transactions and convertible bond acquisitions. Following the takeover, the company reconstituted its board of directors with Q Capital Partners-affiliated leadership to strengthen internal controls, optimize balance sheet liquidity, and drive operational efficiency. Concurrently, Chorokbaem Media has refocused its corporate strategy on high-margin core drama production, expanded strategic co-productions with major entertainment companies such as HYBE, and streamlined its subsidiary operations to maximize profitability across its global content distribution network.
