- It’s unprecedented that a 300min web drama (240min+making film 60m) could sell for such a high price, considering the JP anti-kor situation
- an anonymous biz insider-“Such a high selling price was established solely on the merit of Uknow-Yunho’s name power.”
- “In Japan, there’s a higher possibility that it will come out in DVD rather than being broadcast through a DVD channel” {t/n: through a TV channel, not dvd channel!}
- the biz insider also added “Uknow Yunho’s case will serve as a precedent and trigger for web drama’s with hallyu stars aiming for export”
- and what’s even more amazing is that it’s been sold at that incredible price even before it’s aired!
- average drama export prices(per ep.) have been on a continuous wane from 7,148 usd in 2010 to 2,750 usd in 2013
