There are 10 projects from Taiwan, six from Japan and two from France. These selections join the 29 Korean IP selections for the Busan Story Market and 30 titles for the Asian Project Market, all of which fall under the umbrella of the Asian Contents & Film Market.
This year’s edition of the Busan Story Market will feature French IPs selected by the Cultural Service of the Embassy of France in the Republic of Korea, including one book and one web novel. Organizers said this is the first time that original French IPs will be showcased at the market, as previous editions have focused primarily on introducing French film IPs for remakes.
Five books, three webnovels and two webtoons were submitted through the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and selected by Korean judges. These selections included titles from Kadokawa Taiwan Corporation, LINE Webtoon (Taiwan), Mirror Fiction Inc., Links Publishing, UDN.com Co., Sharp Point Media Group and 4U Films Co.
