As of last July, six drama series produced by its local joint venture, True CJ Creations, began streaming on Amazon MX Player. In addition, CJ ENM has signed a strategic partnership with Amazon Prime Video India to supply K-content, with a total of approximately 100 titles, including 26 new releases, slated for sequential release over the next two years.
