The prevailing belief in the Korean industry is that the DVD business is on the way out, unable to compete with rampant piracy on the one hand and the fastest average broadband rates in the world on the other. In 2001, for instance, there were roughly 10,000 video rental and retail stores in Korea; by 2008, this had shrunk to 3,500 a decline of 65%. DVD revenue appears to have plummeted even more sharply: according to a May 2011 KOFIC report, turnover had shrunk from KRW 800 billion ( 540 million) in 2002 to KRW220 billion ( 149 million) in 2008 a decline of 72.5%. This is in inverse proportion to the growth of the theatrical market over the same period. The business is not entirely dead, however, and a comprehensive analysis of the titles available to Korean buyers on the pan-asia online shopping site yesasia.com suggests well-stocked shelves and a good range of European titles. The following chart includes non-korean and non-english-language movies only. The German titles are too numerous to list here, but cover the usual range, from 1920s classics to contemporary movies, and for once include such 9 Market Study South Korea 2010-2014, Oct 2015, by Split Screen for German Films

video stand-bys as Bavarian sex comedies (a box set is available). What sales traffic there is, we have no way of knowing. But availability of titles is, in any area of the film business, an essential starting point a foot in the door, in other words, albeit a very tentative one. South Korea: European DVD titles available to buy on yesasia.com France Spain Italy Germany Poland Sweden Denmark Portugal Netherlands VOD is even harder to quantify and we have been unable to find any site with accessible (i.e non-password-protected) content information in either Korean or English. However we are largely confident about the following: with Korea still the country with the highest average internet connection speed in the world (21 Mbt/s 40% faster than nearest rival Japan), the conditions are ideal for content to be delivered by internet, as is most of the country s TV and pay-tv programming; the VOD market is dominated by offshoots of two of Korea s most powerful corporations: KT (Olleh) TV, owned and operated by KT Corporation (formerly Korea Telecom); and Samsung u+tv, operated by the company that supplies most of the world s smart TVs; branded content seems to work, to judge by the decision of US majors Warner Bros., Sony and Disney to set up their own VOD platforms; 10 Market Study South Korea 2010-2014, Oct 2015, by Split Screen for German Films

on the basis of patterns found in other forms of home entertainment, content is likely to be 50% Korean, 45% Hollywood, with the rest of the world supplying the smallest slice of the VOD cake. For German films, the message seems to be that all-platform deals are the only option, in the hope that a Korean partner will see a way to squeeze some value out of the last link in the audiovisual chain. (4) SOUTH KOREA: COMMENTARY South Korea has pretty much taken over from Japan as the cinematic powerhouse of East Asia, with an energetic presence at the world s film markets and a new generation of filmmakers gaining renown on the international film festival circuit. While the theatrical market seemed to be struggling to cope with the instant-gratification challenge of the internet at the end of the 2000s, the theatrical business seems subsequently not only to have survived but to be prospering. Per capita annual attendance, which had dropped below three visits a year in 2010, has surged back to 4.3 one of the highest rates in the world (France s is 3.2, the US s 3.8) and other indicators are equally positive. Over the five-year period surveyed here, admissions soared in Korea by 44% and box office by 68% (although some of the latter may be explained by increased ticket prices and exchange-rate fluctuations). There is also, it should be noted, one statistic that defies interpretation: according to KOFIC, 1,117 films were released in 2014 almost four times the number for 2010. Since there are no other signs of this cinematic flood (which would amount to 22 new releases a week throughout the year), we must assume that the criteria have been extended to include non-theatrical releases or, more likely, direct-to-vod titles. Korean audiences remain fiercely loyal to local films, which were until comparatively recently protected by import quotas. Thus the audience for foreign films, including Hollywood blockbusters, averages out at around 100 million, with that for foreign films much lower. Acquisitions executives, however, continue to trawl the world s festivals and markets in search of product and, as the details of distributors of German films in 2 (b) above indicates, the number of boutique operations continues to escalate. An appetite for less commercial fare certainly seems to exist. The VOD market, meanwhile, is taking flight. The DVD era may be over, but the delivery of image-based home entertainment remains a vibrant part of the Korean economy. The balance, however, is inevitably shifting towards new technological platforms. Cable is especially well-established in Korea, so IPTV suppliers are struggling to be able to offer a competitive sign-up package. But the potential rewards are so huge and the pockets of platforms such as KT and Samsung so deep that this is more a speed bump than a barrier. 11 Market Study South Korea 2010-2014, Oct 2015, by Split Screen for German Films

(5) GERMAN FILMS IN SOUTH KOREA Despite the array of distributors involved or perhaps because there was no single distributor regularly championing them Korea has remained a relatively minor territory for German films, with the only ones to make regular impact being those that could pass for Hollywood (the usual suspects: THE THREE MUSKETEERS, RESIDENT EVIL and CLOUD ATLAS), plus children s movies such as TARZAN 3D, DIE BIENE MAJA and RITTER ROST. Arthouse titles such as DAS WEISSE BAND, SOUL KITCHEN and BARBARA, which generally achieved crossover status in other markets, sold less than 20,000 tickets between them in Korea with the latter, according to sales agent The Match Factory, effectively shown unauthorised and unpaid for by distributor Sponge Entertainment. The trend, however, seems to be upwards, with half the Top 10 Films 2010-2014 released in 2014. There is insufficient data to draw any conclusions about VOD, but the DVD retailer analysed above keeps a good back-catalogue of German films alongside more recent releases. Theatrically, however, while the number of German stories and arthouse titles released make up the majority of openings with a particular surge in 2014, when double the usual number of films opened they accounted for just 7% of box-office returns to German films. Overall, in a market of 50 million people delivering an average of EUR 937 million at the box office, German films could manage at best (2014) a box-office share of 0.74%. The charts on the following page show numbers of releases and box office revenue for the key groups identified in the introduction to this Report. 12 Market Study South Korea 2010-2014, Oct 2015, by Split Screen for German Films
