Studio Dragon has partnered with Netflix to carry dozens of tvN dramas like Crash Landing on You and It's Okay to Not Be Okay on the platform. Their partnership was expected to expire in 2022 as CJ ENM, founder of Studio Dragon, has decided to focus on TVING following the merger with KT Seezn,[19] which also owned minority shares on KT StudioGenie, who founded the streaming platform Seezn .[20]
Logo
editStudio Dragon's logo, which it calls the "Drama Paragon", was inspired by Cintamani, a wish-fulfilling jewel within both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. It represents Asian culture, which the company wants to glorify through every production it makes. The logo, made by Korean brand design company BRANDMAJOR,[21] was first introduced in the 2016 drama Squad 38.
