With the global pandemic still going, people are still forced to stay at home and aren’t able to go out. With cinemas shutting their doors, watch goers are now unable to go to public cinemas and are now reliant on streaming platforms such as Disney + and Netflix.

Additionally, these streaming platforms offer the viewers a huge variety of content, unlike movie theatres. Even if a certain movie or show is not available in that region, viewers are still able to access it with the help of a VPN.

In 2020, the number of subscriptions to online video streaming services around the world reached 1.1 billion in 2020, according to the Motion Picture Association on Thursday.

Not only that, the Korean drama industry is also on the rise. As of 2019, the South Korean movie industry is worth 10.36 million USD which is a 8.1% increase from 2018 which was 9.61 million USD.

As of now, the market for the streaming industry is still on the rise as platforms such as Disney and Netflix are now releasing box office movies and eye catching shows that are not available at the cinemas with the comfort of watching it at home.
