Squid Game was a revelation for Netflix. Besides jumpstarting a new franchise for the platform, the critically acclaimed series heralded a wave of Korean content coming to the mainstream. Now, Netflix enjoys a wealth of titles from South Korea. Seeing the appeal of K-dramas, the company is now investing a lot more in Korean content.

Announced by co-CEO Ted Sarandos (via the platform’s Korean website), Netflix is investing a whopping US$ 2.5 billion in the creation of more South Korean titles. The announcement comes soon after Sarandos met with the country’s president Yoon Suk-yeol. The co-CEO believes that Korean content will still flourish and blossom over the next four years.

The upcoming infusion is double of what the platform has spent on Korean titles so far. In 2016, Netflix invested around US$ 700 million for the genre before boosting it further with US$ 500 million in 2021. Though paling in comparison to the new investment, the initial round saw the rise of globally recognized titles such as Squid Game, Physical: 100, The Glory, and Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Regardless, an entire platoon of K-dramas are coming to Netflix in the next few years.

No new titles were announced from the investment. However, there are South Korean titles already coming to Netflix including the upcoming second season of Squid Game. The platform is facing an upcoming change in strategy as its tentpole franchise Stranger Things is finally winding down with a definitive end.

Here’s one thing we left out of our 2023 bingo card: the start of the Lofi Cinematic Universe. After a day of teasing a sweeping change for the channel, Lofi Girl has launched a new livestream catered to synthwave fans and featuring an all-new character.

Yesterday, the popular Lofi Girl left her post to presumably go on a break, leaving an empty chair. All signs pointed to a new character coming, including an all-new channel with the title “?”. The new channel even had a countdown.

When the timer reached zero, the original channel showed a short video of a new purple-clad character arriving with their dog and hunching over an old CRT monitor. The original channel then returned to its original programming. The new channel updated and showed the new character at their new post. It also has the title, “synthwave radio – beats to chill/game to.”

As the name says, the new channel showcases synthwave music, a genre that rose in popularity alongside lo-fi music. Though the genre also presents a good ambiance, it has its fair share of differences from lo-fi, namely more upbeat melodies and a decent amount of bass. In terms of looks, it tailors itself towards gamers, night owls, and those who love the aesthetic of ‘80s nostalgia.

Currently, the new character does not have a name or a gender yet. Lofi Girl’s official platforms have not announced more details yet.
