Something Special is highlighting Iron Squad<\/em>, in which eight teams representing different branches of special forces compete in missions designed by military experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIron Squad<\/em> is Korea\u2019s number one reality competition for four straight years, now expanded into a powerhouse franchise with Iron Squad W<\/em> (female edition) and Iron Earth<\/em> (exploration-driven spin-off),\u201d says Jin Woo Hwang, founder, president and executive producer.<\/p>\n

Unforgettable Duet<\/em> follows as the families of dementia patients gather mementoes and select their favorite songs to help them recall the past. The format \u201chas caught the eye of many international buyers, having secured three option deals after its first release at MIPCOM last year, with only a month having passed since its Korean premiere, making it one of the fastest format sales records in the Korean format industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martial Arts: The Show<\/em> sees teams of martial arts experts transform traditional techniques into stage performances. \u201cBlending precision, athleticism and artistry, each team delivers breathtaking displays that audiences have never seen before,\u201d says Hwang.<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cKorean formats have captured the interest of international buyers for the past several years. We strongly believe that our formats can be \u2018something special\u2019 to international buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing the very first format-specialized independent Korean company, we are confident that our programs have the potential to become the next big hits.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
