Naman Ramachandran Korean entertainment powerhouse CJ ENM continues to make significant strides on the international stage following its trio of nominations at the Banff Rockie Awards 2025, which further cement its position as a global content juggernaut.

The Banff World Media Festival has named Korea as its inaugural Country of Honor for the 2025 edition. Building on the momentum created by its historic success with Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite,” which won four Oscars in 2020, CJ ENM is now making its mark in the television space. “CJ ENM is honored to be nominated at Banff Rockie Awards 2025.

We are proud that Korean content is getting recognition in the global stage and CJ ENM to lead the path as the only Asia-based company to secure triple nominations,” Hyo-ju Jeon, the company’s head of international marketing, tells Variety.

The company’s nominated titles showcase its rapidly diversifying content portfolio, with period drama “Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born” (available globally via Disney+) competing in the Limited Series category, black comedy “LTNS” vying for Comedy Series: Non-English Language honors, and lifestyle program “Europe Outside Your Tent: France” rounding out the nominations.
