Disney+ has revealed new South Korean and Indonesian titles set to debut across AsiaPac markets this year.

Among the South Korean titles for the platform is Soundtrack #1, a music-centered romantic drama about two people walking the line between romance and friendship.

Other Korean titles coming to Disney+ are Big Mouth, a thriller that sees a third-rate lawyer tangled up in a complex conspiracy; The Zone: Survival Mission, a survival game show where celebrities must break out of escape rooms; and Crazy Love, a rom-com featuring an unexpected pairing.

These titles are in addition to the previously announced Korean titles Moving and King of Savvy.

“We are really excited to showcase our curated collection of unrivaled Korean stories that we believe will captivate viewers globally,” said Jessica Kam-Engle, head of content and development for AsiaPac at The Walt Disney Company. “Our focus is quality storytelling and uncovering narratives that have great emotional and cultural impact. As long-term creative partners, we work alongside the best and most imaginative creators in the region to deliver their content alongside the world’s best stories.”

Disney+ viewers in the region will also see new Indonesian titles debut throughout the year, including Wedding Agreement The Series, based on the best-selling novel and film of the same name. The series is slated to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar this month in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

Currently in production are the Indonesian titles Jurnal Risa, from the Danur Horror Universe and created by Risa Saraswati, and Keluarga Cemara The Series, a spin-off of the 1996 TV series and 2019 movie.

These new Korean and Indonesian titles are part of The Walt Disney Company’s plans to greenlight more than 50 AsiaPac originals by 2023.
