Park Sang-hyuk, head of the channel division of CJ ENM's media division, introduced content trends and 2025 tvN's lineup.
Park said, `We will revive the Wednesday-Thursday drama block in the second half to expand opportunities for novel works by outstanding new creators to meet viewers"We plan to showcase the most dramas on a single platform this year"
He then introduced major works, citing this year's content keywords as 'Dopamine' and 'Infertility'. First of all, drama that will provide certain characters and catharsis refers to the drama `Taepung Corporation', 'Pro Bono', 'New Corporation Project', and drama `He's a Black Salt Dragon' and entertainment show `Pyongppong Earth Entertainment Room Season 3' as works that can be expected to show dopamine-rich characters. It introduced dramas 'Seochodong', 'Divorce Insurance' and entertainment 'Six Sense: City Tour' and 'Business Genius White Sands3' as works that solve problems and provide dopamine. In particular, expectations were raised as the announcement of CJ ENM's new lifestyle survival reconstruction was continued.
The ensuing keyword 'harmlessness' drew attention by combining the trend of 'demuir', which is expanding from calm and seriousness to positive values. In addition to the stories of young people who are seriously growing toward their dreams to be presented in the drama `Someday, the Life of a Slouching Major,' the healing comic romance drama 'Potato Research Institute' and the entertainment 'Edwardly's Country Cook' and the return of the new members 'Sister's Mountain Direct Song2' were introduced as the representatives of harmless contents. In addition, 'The Iron Girls', which was praised for stimulating the MZ generation's desire for exercise, also attracted attention by signaling a new season.
In addition, contents in which both dopamine and harmless forces coexist were also released. The news of the hot rising star Chu Young-woo's appearance in 『The Tyrant's Chef" with Lim Yoon-ah, and the drama 『Gyeonwoo and the Fairy" which will release the romance of young people in a chilling and sweet way added to the pleasure. Park expressed confidence in the work, saying, `I expect it to become a second 'Bounce with a piggyback.' In addition, the news that global stars Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon will transform into acting has been confirmed for the formation of a comic romance 'Umly Love' also attracted attention. Above all, tvN's masterpiece drama 'Signal', which was specially prepared for the 20th anniversary of 2026, is expected to return as 'Second Signal'. Kim Hye-soo appeared on the video and said in the `Second Signal" that she will be able to meet characters whose past changes and present changes. "I'm so excited to be able to introduce a new season." Next year is the 20th anniversary of tvN, so I think it will be more meaningful."
