Studio Dragon Corporation (Korean: 스튜디오드래곤 주식회사; RR: Seutyudiodeuraegon Jusikhoesa) is a South Korean drama production, marketing and distribution company under CJ ENM's E&M division. It was established on May 3, 2016, as a spin-off from E&M Media Content.[13]
The company joined the KOSDAQ index of Korea Exchange, the same index where its parent company is included, through an initial public offering on November 24, 2017.[14][15][16]
Studio Dragon has partnered with Netflix to carry dozen of tvN dramas like Crash Landing on You and It's Okay to Not Be Okay to the platform. Their partnership would expect to be expired on 2022 as CJ ENM, founder of Studio Dragon, has decided to focus on TVING following the merger with KT Seezn,[17] which also owned minority shares on KT StudioGenie, who founded the streaming platform Seezn.[18]
Logo
Studio Dragon's logo, which it calls the "Drama Paragon", was inspired by Cintamani, a wish-fulfilling jewel within both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. It represents Asian culture, which the company wants to glorify through every production it makes. The logo, made by Korean brand design company BRANDMAJOR,[19] was first introduced in the 2016 drama Squad 38.
