<Global FAST Market to Reach $11 Billion by 2030, Korean Content as Key Driver>
According to global media research firm Omdia, FAST channel advertising revenue is projected to grow approximately 14-fold over ten years, from $800 million in 2020 to $11 billion by 2030. While the United States accounts for 76% of the global market, Korea is expected to emerge as the world's 12th largest FAST market with approximately $50 million by 2030.

At the heart of this growth is the global popularity of K-content. As the Korean Wave expands beyond dramas and films to variety shows, K-POP, food, and fashion-beauty content, demand for Korean content on free ad-supported streaming platforms is exploding.

The company serves over 2 billion viewers across more than 10 countries worldwide with over 100 verified titles and more than 2,000 drama episodes available in multiple languages through AI dubbing technology. Representative content includes Stove League, Hwang Jini, and Pasta.

NEW ID, Asia's leading mediatech company operating over 400 FAST channels, pioneers the first dubbed FAST service for Korean films through the NEW KMOVIES channel. The company breaks down language barriers by offering premium K-movies in local languages, including Ma Dong-seok and Lee Jung-jae's Along with the Gods series and Song Kang-ho's The Attorney.

K20 promotes Korean food culture globally through its FoodON channel.
