[내외경제TV] Reporter Seok Su-jeong = There is good news for fans who like OTT platform Netflix’s self-produced content.
On the morning of November 26, Netflix uploaded a teaser video for ‘Sea of Silence’ on its official YouTube channel, spurring the promotion of ‘Sea of Silence’, which will be released on the 24th of next month.
The Sea of Silence is a sci-fi web drama set in 2075. It tells the story of the crew who received a special mission and left the Earth, where essential resources were depleted, and headed to an abandoned research base on the moon.
S-class actors such as Bae Doo-na, Gong Yoo, Lee Jun, Kim Seon-young, Lee Mu-saeng, and Lee Seong-wook appear to study three-dimensional and unique characters.
Bae Doona plays the role of Dr. Song Jian, an astrobiologist who joins the team to uncover the cause of an accident at the Balhae base abandoned on the moon.
Gong Yoo takes on the role of Han Yun-jae, a member of the Space Agency and team leader. He is expected to face a conflict with the role of Song Ji-an, played by Bae Doo-na.
Actor Lee Jun from MBLAQ plays Captain Ryu Tae-seok, the enigmatic chief engineer. Ryu Tae-seok is an elite soldier, but he volunteered for the mission because he got tired of the military.
It’s worth noting that it’s not just the lavish cast.
Even the production crew of ‘Sea of Silence’ is luxurious. Mother’s writer Park Eun-kyo and director Choi Hyang-yong grabbed the megaphone, and ‘Artist Studio’, a production company run by ‘Artist Company’, an agency founded by Jung Woo-sung and Lee Jung-jae, took charge of production.
On the 22nd, Jung Woo-sung spurred the promotion of the content he produced by posting a photo taken with the lead actors Gong Yoo and Bae Doo-na on his Instagram on the 22nd.
Netizens are also curious about the production cost of ‘Sea of Silence’. This is because sci-fi movies and dramas cost a lot to produce.
Although it has not been disclosed exactly, netizens have speculated that it will be less than 40 billion won, saying, “I heard that director Yoon Jong-bin’s Suriname is Netflix’s highest production cost, wouldn’t it be less than that?”
Meanwhile, domestic individual investors’ interest in the ‘Sea of Silence’ is increasing.
▲ Bucket Studio ▲ Dexter ▲ Wysiwick Studio are related to the Sea of Calm.
Bucket Studio is mentioned as a related stock since it owns a 15% stake in ‘Artist Company’, the company of Woosung Jung and Jungjae Lee. Dexter participated in the VFX/CG work of the Sea of Tranquility.
WYSIWYG Studio is being pointed out as a related stock as news of Netflix’s acquisition of ‘Artist Company’ spread.
Some say that Kakao, the major shareholder of Gong Yoo’s agency, Soop Entertainment, is a related share.
