Moving becomes Disney+'s most-watched Korean original in Asia

Moving, a South Korean superhero drama, premiered on Disney+ in August 2023 and went on to become the streamer's most-watched Korean original series up to that point. By September 2023 it was widely described as a major hit for the platform.

The series is based on a webtoon (Korean digital comic) by Kang Full, who also wrote the screenplay. It follows teenagers with inherited superpowers and their parents, who hide abilities from their past as agents. The cast included Ryu Seung-ryong, Han Hyo-joo, Zo In-sung, Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Do-hoon. Production costs were reported to be unusually high for a Korean series.

Moving mattered because it gave Disney+ a clear success in a competitive Korean streaming market, where it had struggled to match rivals such as Netflix. Its popularity in South Korea and elsewhere in Asia strengthened the service's strategy of investing in local-language originals, and it set a benchmark that later Korean titles on the platform have been measured against.
