Disney, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel are currently preparing to be released.

On this day, Dana Walden, co-chairman of Disney Entertainment, called the series "Moving" and "Showgun" global hits and emphasized the influence of Asia-Pacific content on Disney. "The Asia-Pacific region is an important and active growth region for Walt Disney Company," he said. "It has an original story and talent."

In particular, the showcase will introduce new contents from Korea and Japan, and top global stars from the U.S. and Asia-Pacific regions will also attend to tell behind-the-scenes stories.

Original Korean contents include 'Lightning Shop', 'Trigger', 'Fine', 'HyperKnife', 'Nockoff', and 'Nine Puzzle'.

On this day, the premiere of "Lightning Shop" and a press conference will be held, with actor Kim Hee-won, who will present his first work as a writer and director Kang Pul, leading actors Joo Ji-hoon and Park Bo-young attending. This is the second meeting between Kang Pul and Disney since "Moving."
