Netflix to invest $2.5bn in new South Korea films and TV shows

The firm's co-chief executive Ted Sarandos made the announcement after he met South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol in Washington.

Mr Yoon is currently on a state visit to the US where he is expected to meet President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Netflix has seen success with South Korean productions, including the hugely popular show Squid Game.

Mr Sarandos said the money will be spent on making movies and television shows in Asia's fourth largest economy.
