Disney+ has forged a groundbreaking partnership with CJ ENM‘s Korean streaming platform Tving, introducing bundled subscription packages that combine global and local content at discounted rates — a first-of-its-kind collaboration between an international and local streaming service in South Korea.
The deal offers Korean consumers two bundle options launching immediately: a Disney+,Tving and local streamer Wavve package at KRW21,500 ($14.60) monthly, representing up to 37% savings compared to separate subscriptions, and a Disney+-Tving bundle at KRW18,000 ($12.30) monthly, offering 23% savings against the combined cost of Disney+ Standard and Tving Standard.
The bundled plans provide access to Disney’s franchise content from Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic and Hulu, alongside Disney+ Korean originals and popular Korean dramas, variety programming and entertainment from Tving, Wavve and CJ ENM.
The Korean deal follows a content partnership in Japan. Since Nov. 5, Disney+ Japan has begun rolling out up to 60 Korean titles, including CJ ENM hits “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin)” and “Reply 1988.” Tving original series “Dear X” premiered exclusively on Disney+ Japan on Nov. 6, marking the platform’s first major push into the Japanese market.
Tony Zameczkowski, senior VP and general manager of direct-to-consumer for Asia Pacific at Walt Disney Company, said: “By partnering with Tving and Wavve, we’re expanding our reach, enriching the content ecosystem, and offering greater value to consumers. We’re also proud to support the global journey of Korean content and hope this sets a new standard for cross-border collaboration in the streaming industry.”
Kim Soyoun, managing director of Walt Disney Company Korea, added: “This collaboration not only enhances the value we offer to Korean consumers but also strengthens our role as a bridge between local creativity and global audiences.”
Tving CEO Julie Choi said: “We also look forward to seeing more Korean stories reach new audiences around the world and be loved by them through our collaboration with Disney+ Japan.”
The partnership arrives as Disney+ continues expanding its Korean content slate with originals including “Moving,” “Low Life” and “Tempest,” along with new formats like mid-form variety series “Weekly Entertainment Arcade.” The platform positions itself as a dual destination for both Disney’s century-long catalog of global entertainment and growing Korean productions.
