Korean content has taken the world by storm, and it's not hard to see why. The latest report from Netflix, 'What We Watched,' reveals that non-English-language titles made up over one-third of all viewing on the platform between January and June. And within this category, Korean content dominated.
According to the report, Netflix original series 'Teach You a Lesson', which premiered on June 5, amassed an impressive 48.2 million views in just one month. This is no small feat, considering that the show has only been available for a short time and has already begun drawing comparisons to the hit series 'Squid Game'.
