Hit Chinese webseries Ex-Model to premiere on Korean VOD through KTH



SEOUL, 17 March 2017 - After its successful run in webfestivals ending with the Kwebfest in Seoul this past August 2016, hit Chinese webseries Ex-Model will be released on South Korean VOD platforms thanks to a partnership with KTH (Korea Telecom Hitel).

Through his company, YMK Films Korea, the director of the Kwebfest Young Man Kang reached a deal with the content arm of Korea Telecom, the leading telecom operator in South Korea, a leader in the digital contents business in Asia.

Ex-Model was created by Emmanuel Sapolsky and Xin Wang, produced by Paris-based fledging prodco New Bee Productions, and is distributed by Asian webseries specialist Daehan Drama.

The webseries follows Chinese model XinXin in Paris, who struggles to accept not being under the spotlight as much as before as she reaches her 30s and will attempt almost anything not to fall back into anonymousness. An intrigue widely inspired from the life of author and lead actress, Xin Wang.

Ex-Model received best actress and best art design awards at the Sicily Webfest 2015 and a special award at the Bilbao Webfest 2016 for its “preservation of the old town of Paris.” Premiering on Youku Tudou in Mainland China, it has also been airing on Fashion One in South East Asia and Gong TV in France.





KTH has so far released mainly homegrown feature films and webdramas. As their first foreign webseries, Ex-Model will provide them with a first opportunity to test the market and see how Korean viewers react.

To start, Ex-Model will be released on Naver TVcast, the leading VOD platform for webseries in South Korea, then to other services. This is the second foreign webseries being released on Naver TVcast after BananaMana Films’ Perfect Girl last year through a deal with iHQ.


YMK Films’ Young Man Kang says, “We are very excited to be able to release a first foreign webseries in the South Korean market and we hope to bring more as to expand the market for web contents here and beyond.”

The Last Eve: The Best Unseen Movie

昨年末、笑った事があった。知合いの韓国人映画監督YMKこと、Young Man Kangの新作”The Last Eve”がアメリカの映画雑誌Film Threatの「2005年観た事も聞いた事もない映画ベスト10」で、見事ナンバー1に輝いた。ちなみに日本の映画雑誌「映画秘宝」はこれをパクってる。2位は昨夏観たGregの糞映画”Mad Cowgirl”。しかし何なんだろうね、この雑誌は。いつもYMKとかGregの映画を誉め讃えるんだけど、俺の見識ではヤツらの映画はどうしようもねぇ糞映画としか認識出来ないんだけどさ。何であそこまで持ち上げるのか、不思議でしょうがない。商品として一般公開されず、聞いた事もない映画祭でしか上映されてない。マジにジャーナリストとして見識を疑うよな。数年前にYMKがこの映画を作る為に、俺に金の工面をしてくれと来た。勿論、即答で断った。コイツの映画はどれも糞だから、金になるわけが無い。で、俺はYMKにJamesを紹介してやった。2人は打ち解けたようで、何とJamesが出資を名乗り出たのには驚いた。以降、JamesはYMKの”Soapgirl”や"Death Valley Diary"の製作にも参加。"The Last Eve"は製作に3年近くかかりようやく昨秋NYで行われた聞いた事もない映画祭でグランプリ。Jamesにそのリンクを送ると、「笑った」だとよ。Jamesも今やってる”Alibi”を見せれば、間違いなく絶賛されるだろうね。YMKは悪いヤツじゃないんだが、監督としての才能はゼロ。知合いのプロデューサー曰く「アマチュア」と一蹴。俺も同感。悪いヤツじゃないが、近づかない様にしてる。


The Last Eve DVD release in Germany on Dec,13.2006
