Netflix Korea is organizing a major in-person festival in Seoul to celebrate a decade of service in the country, a two-day event that will include exclusive sneak peeks of All of Us Are Dead season 2, Solo Leveling, and several as-yet-unreleased original Korean projects.
The celebration, dubbed Netf-Janchi (넷플잔치 / Netflix Feast), joins a series of anniversary events that Netflix has organized in other key markets such as Japan, South Africa, and Italy, where the platform used the occasion to announce new series and expand its local catalog.
The festival will be held on October 24 and 25, 2026, at the Oil Tank Culture Park (문화비축기지) in Seoul, with free tickets selling out in minutes via Naver Booking. For those unable to attend in person, the main panels will be streamed live on YouTube.
What is Netf-Janchi and why is it happening now?
The event marks the tenth anniversary of Netflix's launch in South Korea, which took place in January 2016. Over this decade, the country has become one of the most profitable content hubs for the platform, with more than 210 Korean titles entering the global Top 10 lists since Netflix began tracking that data.
The festival combines panels with the cast and creators of iconic series, live musical performances, retrospectives, and, above all, a stage dedicated to showcasing what is coming in the next few years.
The Main Event: The What Next? Stage with All of Us Are Dead and Solo Leveling
The central event for international fans is the What Next? + Finale Performance stage, scheduled for Saturday, October 24. Following the precedent set at Netflix celebrations in Tokyo, Johannesburg, and Rome, where the platform revealed extensive catalogs of future productions, Netflix Korea will use this space to show exclusive previews, cast appearances, and production updates for its most anticipated projects.
According to local media, the titles to be presented on this stage include:
- All of Us Are Dead (season 2): the most anticipated announcement for fans of the zombie K-drama. The presence of the cast and creative team on stage is confirmed to discuss the second season, for which previews or production images are expected ahead of its planned 2027 return.
- Solo Leveling: live-action or screen adaptation projects linked to the popular webtoon and the hit anime series are scheduled to have a presence at the event.
- Grand Galaxy Hotel (그랜드 갤럭시 호텔): the highly anticipated fantasy drama project.
- Possible Love (가능한 사랑): the new project from acclaimed director Lee Chang-dong, which generated great anticipation at the Busan International Film Festival.
- Tantara / Slowly, Intensely (천천히 강렬하게): a high-profile romantic drama series included in the catalog planned for the last quarter of the year.
- Beauty in the Beast (늑대, 소녀): an upcoming original production that will be officially detailed during the festival.
A Retrospective of a Decade of Global Success
Before looking toward the future, the Saturday program includes the panel Netflix 10 Years, Mind-Blowing Net! (넷플 10년, 미쳤넷!), hosted by comedian and television presenter Kim Shin-young.
