News Summary:
On April 2, CJ ENM announced that director Bong Joon-ho's next project would be his first feature-length animated film, "ALLY," with production targeted for the first half of the following year. The company specified that the film, conceptualized since 2019, involves Yoo Jae-sun, director of a film invited to the 76th Cannes International Film Festival's Critics' Week in 2023, as a co-writer, supported by a global production team from 12 countries. Previously, on March 31, CJ ENM revealed the 2026 MAMA AWARDS would take place at KYOCERA DOME OSAKA in Osaka, Japan, from November 20 to 21. The K-Pop awards ceremony, with Visa as its title sponsor, will stream live worldwide via Mnet Plus. Earlier, on March 28, CJ ENM submitted a letter of intent to acquire Watcha, signaling a pivot from its stalled Tving-Wavve merger plan and aiming to reshape South Korea's over-the-top (OTT) landscape, a bid that subsequently bolstered Watcha's rehabilitation prospects. This follows the March 26 announcement, where CJ ENM unveiled the full artist lineup for KCON LA 2026, featuring NCT 127, TXT, and ZEROBASEONE as headliners for the K-pop festival, which aims to deliver a more immersive concert experience.
