Paramount+ made its debut in Asia on Thursday with the launch of its streaming service in South Korea atop local streaming platform Tving, operated by Korean entertainment heavyweight Cj Enm. Effective immediately, existing Tving subscribers can stream Paramount+ content at no extra charge.
The launch is part of a strategic global partnership between Paramount Global and Cj Enm that includes content licensing and distribution across Paramount+ and Tving, as well as seven Korean original series, the partners said in a statement. The launch will add to the heated struggle among Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, Tving and others for Korea’s globally bankable content and growing local subscriber pool.
Tving is a joint venture between Cj Enm, Korean Internet company Naver and television network Jtbc, with Cj Enm holding the majority control. To date, the platform’s content offering has been dominated by local Korean dramas from Cj and Jtbc.

Paramount Global’s International CEO Raffaele Annecchino has been placed “on leave,” according to an internal note seen by Deadline.
A short statement revealed the exec, who is considered to be a key lieutenant of Paramount President and CEO Bob Bakish in Europe, was no longer in post but provided no further details of the situation. “Effective today, Raffaele Annecchino, President, Paramount International Studios, Networks and Streaming, is on leave from the company,” the note read.
Annecchino will be replaced in the interim by Jc Acosta, President, International Studios, Streaming and Networks for Southern Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Africa; Maria Kyriacou, President, Australia, Canada, Israel and UK; and Mark Specht, Executive VP and Managing Director, Central and Northern Europe and Asia, the memo notes.
Annecchino has been leading the role out of Paramount+ and Pluto TV in Europe, recently handing Marco Nobili and Olivier Jollet key new roles to turbo-charge the expansion.
