From Emmy-winning work on the Netflix megahit 'Squid Game' to local blockbusters like 'Escape From Mogadishu' and such studio tentpoles as 'The Batman,' the South Korean effects sector is thriving like never before.
“We call it ‘invisible VFX’ in the industry,” says Dexter Studios CEO Kang Jong-ik. “And it’s often more difficult to create digital images that blend into the existing landscape.”
Elsewhere, the country’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism predicts that the domestic market for Artificial Reality will jump five times compared with 2020. VFX companies are now building virtual production studios, while conglomerates such as CJ ENM and SK Telecom are investing in the market. Leading tech companies such as Samsung and LG are collaborating with film studios to expand their investment in developing high-definition LED screens.
South Korea also is leading the way in virtual production. Seoul-based XON Studio recently partnered with SK Telecom, the country’s top mobile carrier, to create virtual studios using large LED walls that can re-create an extensive variety of settings. The company is currently testing the feasibility of connecting virtual studios in two different locations — Goyang and Pangyo.
