A+E Media Group Korea Sets The Witch Adaptation Premiere

A+E Media Group Korea has lined up an adaptation of The Witch, a webtoon from Kang-full, to premiere worldwide on February 15.

The Korean series centers on Dong-jin, the only man who doesn’t give up on his pursuit of romance with his childhood friend, who earned the nickname “the Witch” in high school due to the misfortunes that befall those who fall in love with her. It will premiere on a variety of platforms in the U.S., Europe and Asia, including A+E Korea’s Lifetime.

The Witch stars GOT7 member Park Jin Young (Yumi’s Cells 2, The Devil Judge) and Roh Jeong-eui (Our Beloved Summer, Hierarchy).

This marks the third webtoon from Kang-full to be adapted into a scripted drama. His original webtoon, Moving, debuted as a Disney+ original in 2023.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with esteemed artist Kang-full on dramatizing his hit webtoon at A+E,” said Youngsun Son, senior VP and managing director of A+E Korea. “The Witch is a series that masterfully intertwines romance and mystery, offering a fresh narrative that will captivate audiences worldwide. At A+E Media Group Korea, we are dedicated to investing in and producing Korean content that resonates globally, and The Witch exemplifies this commitment.”
