Netflix's market weight in South Korea dwarfs that of local platforms such as Tving, Wavve and Watcha. Netflix boasted a 38.2% market share in South Korea last year, according to Mobile Index, overshadowing Tving's 13.1%. Unlike the EU, South Korea does not have laws requiring foreign streaming services to produce or invest in local content. While the project was commissioned by Netflix UK, it centres on genetic cloning fraud in South Korea and includes file clips from broadcasters’ archives. "The government needs to come up with a system to ensure that excess profits can be returned to South Korean creators."
