AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Busan Film: BIFF closed after drawing more than 200,000 admissions, its biggest audience since 2015. Iranian director Majid Majidi’s Midday Meal took the festival’s top prize and an Oscar-qualifying slot. K-pop: Rising group A2O Lite topped Melon’s chart faster than NewJeans, while HYBE faced backlash over a Weverse Con festival ad that fans said leaned on stereotypes about Indian audiences. LE SSERAFIM, meanwhile, is fronting a Rakuten Viki campaign built around the group’s Asian-series recommendations. On Tour: BTS drew 155,000 fans across three sold-out shows in Lima, a historic first visit for the group. Seoul Arts: The city approved plans for concert halls and a museum at the Seoripul complex, and the Culture Ministry pledged AI support for webtoon creators.
