Netflix to mark 10th anniversary in Korea with 'Netfljanchi' fan festival

Netflix will hold a two-day fan festival called "Netfljanchi" at the Mapo Oil Reserve Culture Park in Sangam on Oct. 24 and 25 to mark the 10th anniversary of its service in South Korea.

Designed as a celebration with viewers, the festival will bring Netflix's "total entertainment" experience — spanning all genres — to life in an offline setting.

The first batch of programming announced includes segments such as "10 Years of Netflix Korea: The Stars We Loved, All in One Place," "Find Netflix's Greatest Brain," "Our Dance School Right Now" and "The World's Hottest Romance Paradise."

"At Netfljanchi, audiences will take part in interactive events alongside the cast of beloved Netflix series and variety shows," the company said.

Popular artists including Bada, Choi Baek-ho, Kyuhyun, Kwon Jin-ah, Car, the Garden and Rain will perform special celebratory sets. The event will also feature a live on-site taping of "Here to Celebrate," a spinoff of Netflix's own YouTube series "Here to Promote," along with previews of upcoming titles.

The venue will feature a variety of food and beverage booths, and all attendees will receive a sun visor as a gift. A limited-edition 10th-anniversary T-shirt and a traditional fan called "Eolssu Buchae" will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tickets for Netfljanchi will be available free of charge through Naver reservations starting Thursday. Additional lineup details and information will be released gradually through Netflix's official social media channels.

Netflix launched its service in South Korea in 2016 and marks its 10th anniversary this year.

Since Netflix began tracking its global Top 10 in 2021, more than 210 Korean titles have appeared on the chart, reflecting the platform's role in advancing the growth of Korean content worldwide.

Korean stories have captivated audiences around the globe — from "Squid Game," which spent 32 consecutive weeks on the global Top 10, to "KPop Demon Hunters," which ignited a worldwide K-culture craze, to "When Life Gives You Tangerines," which showcased the beauty of Jeju Island, and "Juvenile Justice," which ranked among the top 10 most popular non-English series of all time.

"Netfljanchi is a festival prepared to express our gratitude to the creators, partners and subscribers who have been part of this 10-year journey together, while also looking ahead with excitement to the next 10 years of stories to come," Netflix said.
