    About

    Since its inception in 1995, CJ ENM Films & Television has transformed from a regional distributor into a global production powerhouse. The company manages a vast library of over 600 film titles while operating major broadcasting channels like tvN, Mnet, and OCN. Its strategy combines vertical integration with aggressive international expansion, establishing a significant operational hub in Istanbul to serve as a bridge for co-productions between East and West.

    Miky Lee, the Vice Chairwoman, drives the division's creative direction and strategic partnerships. Her leadership recently earned her the Arts Champion Award at the 2025 Newport Beach Film Festival. Under her guidance, the studio launched First Light StoryHouse in mid-2025 alongside Janet Yang and Dominic Ng to nurture diverse voices in animation and film. This new label underscores a commitment to expanding storytelling beyond traditional genre boundaries.

    The brand navigates a competitive landscape by pivoting from simple content supply to deep strategic alliances. Recent moves include a three-year co-production agreement with Japan's TBS in May 2024 and a major deal with Amazon Prime Video at India's WAVES Market in June 2025. These partnerships highlight an evolution toward shared risk and reward rather than mere licensing deals.
