Art One E&M, a Korean film and drama production company, confirmed it will produce two commercial films set to release in the first half of 2026 and has signed a distribution contract with Blue Film Works. The projects will be directed by Lee Wan and aim to balance artistic quality with mass appeal to revitalize the domestic entertainment market. The deal secures a stable distribution network, helping the films reach more audiences.
Beyond production, Art One E&M operates a performance academy in Hongdae (a Seoul arts and youth district) to train the next generation of actors through practice-focused programs tied to actual productions. Veteran director Jung Heung-sun (known for the “Gamuui Yeonggwang” series) teaches at the academy, mentoring students and sharing on-set expertise. The academy is casting for the 2026 films and offers new actors profile shoots and strong support for screen opportunities.
Art One E&M plans to expand into TV drama production and global OTT content; the industry expects the company to grow into an integrated content firm combining newcomer development and commercial filmmaking.
