This Special Section on Is Netflix Riding the Korean Wave or Vice Versa? aims to provide a better understanding of the ways in which Netflix has influenced the local cultural industries in terms of the shift in cultural genres and industry structure. The authors present works from critical studies, cultural studies, and platform studies perspectives, partly using Squid Game—one of the most famous Netflix originals—to anchor their analyses.

I am the sole editor of this special issue.

The four articles in this dossier seek to address some of the issues flagged here on the transmedia and Asian cinema.
