Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF) 2016 today announced the addition of three industry stalwarts to its line-up of entertainment content experts who will be delivering insights at the four-day event. David Fernando Audy, President Director of PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk (MNC) (Indonesia) and Yong-Ju Jeon, Chief Executive Officer of D'Live and iHQ (South Korea) will kick off the CLevel Summit (6 December 2016), while Seung-Hyun Oh, Chief Creative Officer of MNC Animation (Indonesia) will deliver a keynote address at Junior@ATF (7 December 2016). The annual event has also added Market Focus sessions that will shed greater light on the China, Indochina and Southeast Asia markets.
The ATF conference consistently places a spotlight on pertinent topics, gathering the industry's brightest minds for a time of insightful knowledge exchange. With three of Asia's top entertainment content leaders delivering keynote addresses and new Market Focus sessions, ATF 2016 delegates can certainly look forward to obtaining the keys to navigating today's dynamic Asia content market. This will further cement our position as Asia's leading platform for TV content, said Yeow Hui Leng, Senior Project Director of ATF and ScreenSingapore, Reed Exhibitions.
C-Level Summit keynotes to address the business of disruption In line with the theme of Managing the business of disruptors , David Fernando Audy, President Director of PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk (MNC) will take to the stage, addressing today's evolving landscape in the digital realm.
A veteran in Indonesia's media industry, Mr Audy was appointed President Director of PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk (MNC) in September 2016. He currently also holds various other positions in the Group - President Director of PT Global Informasi Bermutu (GlobalTV), Commissioner of PT Linktone Indonesia, Commissioner of PT MNC GS Homeshopping, and President Director of PT MNC Lisensi International.
With a vision to be Southeast Asia's largest integrated media company, PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk (MNC) is already Indonesia's most extensive multi-platform media company. The media giant invested in mobile dating app Paktor earlier this year, in support of the latter's expansion into social entertainment.
At a separate session, Yong-Ju Jeon, Chief Executive Officer of D'Live and iHQ (South Korea) will share his vision for creating value in the world of the digital disruption.
D'Live is one of South Korea's largest multiple system operators. With the highest rate of digitisation amongst its peers within the country's cable television sector, the multimedia company is well-regarded as an industry leader in adopting new technologies.
Under Mr Jeon's leadership, D'Live grew to become one of South Korea's largest cable TV service providers, while iHQ established itself as one of the country's top talent agencies. Both entities have also attracted the attention of large international entertainment businesses. Earlier this year, D'Live beat other major pay TV operators to secure an exclusive licensing deal with Netflix in South Korea. Separately, iHQ is expected to receive US$15 million of investment from A&E Television Networks LLC, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Company - a move that will pave the way for the South Korean company to enter the global entertainment content market.
Speaking on Asia's new kids' content landscape at Junior@ATF, Seung-Hyun Oh, Chief Creative Officer of MNC Animation (Indonesia) has over two decades of experience in the ever-evolving animation industry.
Speaking on Asia's new kids' content landscape at Junior@ATF, Seung-Hyun Oh, Chief Creative Officer of MNC Animation (Indonesia) has over two decades of experience in the ever-evolving animation industry.
Prior to his appointment at MNC Animation, Mr Oh held a myriad of positions including supervising director, director and artist at well-known studios such as Cartoon Network, Disney, Nickelodeon and Warner Brothers - in addition to others in Korea and Japan. During his tenure at these studios, he worked on numerous animation projects well-recognised in the industry. Amongst them are Avatar: The Last Airbender (Season 3), Fire Breather , Generator Rex , Macross Zero , Tinker Bell films, Tron Uprising and Wonderful Days .
In end 2014, Mr Oh was brought on to helm MNC Group's aggressive investment in expanding its animation arm. In continuing efforts to bring its content overseas, MNC Animation recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Creative Content Agency, covering the fields of animation, music, and entertainment programmes.
New Market Focus sessions to whet appetite for greater market penetration With 60% of the world's population residing in Asia, the continent boasts a dynamic mix of highlydeveloped television markets and others with untapped potential. China remains attractive, with recent statistics showing that Asia-Pacific's top three operators, all of which are in China, will account for onethird of the region's pay TV subscription growth between now and 20211. Amongst Asian markets with immense potential is Indochina - comprising Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) - whose gross domestic product growth is expected to outpace the whole of Asia in the years to come2. Similarly, strong economic development in Southeast Asia has spread wealth; leading to market research firm Nielsen's forecast that the middle-class population will more than double to 400 million by 20203.
On the back of such an awakening, ATF will - for the first time - place a spotligh
