NETFLIX ANNOUNCES NEW KOREAN ORIGINAL STAND-UP COMEDY SPECIAL WITH YG ENTERTAINMENT

November 24, Seoul, Korea -- Netflix Inc., the world's leading internet entertainment service, today announced that it is introducing a new Korean Netflix Original Stand-Up Comedy Special with YG Entertainment featuring Yoo Byung-Jae.

Netflix will also feature BLACK COMEDY in early 2018, another Netflix Original Comedy Special of Yoo's stand-up comedy act that was shot this year.

"We are thrilled to team up with YG Entertainment and Yoo Byung-Jae," said Erik Barmack, Vice President of International Original Series at Netflix. "Our aim is to partner with the boldest and funniest Korean comedy talent and share the laughter with the world."

"We are excited to introduce Yoo Byung-Jae's stand-up comedy on a global platform like Netflix," said a YG Entertainment representative. "This will be a great opportunity for Korean comedy to expand towards the global markets."
