The women, many of whom are in their 80s, risk their lives daily by plunging up to 20 meters to the seafloor without oxygen masks or advanced equipment to gather shellfish.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Shiotani, senior VP of content at BBC Studios Asia, said: \u201cBBC Studios is delighted to bring the lives of the Haenyeo and the beautiful landscapes of Jeju to viewers through the eyes of Song Ji-Hyo and this original production for JTBC and BBC Earth Asia. We recognize the importance of Korea as a leading content producer and collaborator, and we\u2019re excited to take our first steps into co-production with leading broadcaster JTBC and with the support of KOCCA. We have ambitious plans to strengthen and evolve our relationships with partners in Asia and to bring more Asian stories to the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee Dong-hee, managing director of SAY, JTBC\u2019s unscripted studio, added: \u201cThis documentary is a significant opportunity for JTBC to introduce Korea\u2019s precious cultural heritage to the global stage. The Haenyeo of Jeju live a unique life where tradition and nature come together, and we are thrilled to share their story with an international audience. We plan to set a new paradigm for international content production moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ji-hyo commented: \u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to be part of a project that brings together JTBC and BBC Studios. After over 20 years in the entertainment industry, I\u2019m looking forward to pushing beyond the limits I\u2019ve felt, and this project could be that chance. It\u2019s more than simply stepping into the shoes of a Haenyeo\u2014it\u2019s about truly immersing myself in their authentic way of life and evolving through that shared journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC Studios and JTBC are set to co-produce Deep Dive Korea: Song Ji-Hyo\u2019s Haenyeo Adventure, marking the first time the companies have partnered for an original production and BBC Studios Asia\u2019s first co-production in Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":22191,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[517,10162,3764,10163],"class_list":["post-22190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc","tag-deep-dive-korea-song-ji-hyos-haenyeo-adventure","tag-jtbc","tag-song-ji-hyo","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BBC Studios &amp; JTBC to Co-Produce Diving Series - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BBC Studios &amp; JTBC to Co-Produce Diving Series - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BBC Studios and JTBC are set to co-produce Deep Dive Korea: Song Ji-Hyo\u2019s Haenyeo Adventure, marking the first time the companies have partnered for an original production and BBC Studios Asia\u2019s first co-production in Korea.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-10-23T14:20:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-10-23T14:20:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/10\/BBC-JTBC-1024.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/\",\"name\":\"BBC Studios & JTBC to Co-Produce Diving Series - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-10-23T14:20:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-23T14:20:26+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bbc-studios-jtbc-to-co-produce-diving-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BBC Studios &#038; JTBC to Co-Produce Diving Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
