Newly appointed Yoon is the first director in Korea to achieve two successive 10,000,000 audience hit movies with the films “Haeundae” (2009) and “Ode to My Father” (2014). In 2016, Yoon joined CJ

In addition, CJ ENM appointed Bon Factory’s Oh Kwang-hee as CJ ENM STUDIOS Content Director.

CJ ENM established CJ ENM STUDIOS on April 5, 2022 to produce multi-genre content targeting both domestic and international OTT (over-the-top) platforms. CJ ENM is strengthening its global content competitiveness by establishing a triangle business model system which is formed by Studio Dragon (established in 2016), U.S.-based Endeavor Content (acquisition completed January 2022) and newly established CJ ENM STUDIOS.
