On the morning of the 21st, "Next on Netflix 2026 Korea" was held at a hotel in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to introduce the direction of Netflix contents and the lineup of works in 2026. The "Next on Netflix 2026 Korea" event, which marks the beginning of the year, introduces the lineup for the first time this year by Netflix and actors who are the main characters of creation. Starting with Kang Dong-han, a Korean content VP of Netflix, the event will feature Netflix series and movies in 2026. Senior director Bae Jong-byung, who is in charge of Netflix series, movies, and entertainment, and directors of the content division, including Kim Tae-won and Yoo Ki-hwan, attended to introduce the direction and lineup of Netflix contents this year. The cast of Netflix's works, including actor Jeon Do-yeon of "Possible Love," Nam Joo-hyuk of "Donggung," Son Ye-jin of "Scandal," Park Eun-bin of "Wonderfuls," and Ahn Sung-jae of "Black and White Cook," came out to talk about the work himself.

Netflix responded to a question about the verification of general public performers, including the controversy over Lim Sung-geun in season 2 of "Black and White Cook." Director Yoo Ki-hwan said, "Actually, that part is difficult for us, too. As reality entertainment increases, there are more raw entertainment shows and we recruit and produce many people, he said. "There are limitations and it is really difficult to grasp the history of ordinary individuals in detail."

"I'm confident that the 'black and white cook' is observing everything that can be done within the legal limit. Nevertheless, we are thinking about how to supplement the problems that we cannot find a little more," he said, adding, "We are thinking about what we can do within the broadcast limit."

Meanwhile, Lim Sung-geun, who recently gained fame by appearing in Season 2 of "Black and White Cook," was found to have been caught drunk driving at least four times, sparking controversy.
