Following the worldwide popularity of 'Squid Game', another Korean content was released on Netflix, and as soon as it was released, it ranked first in viewership ratings.
According to 'Flix Patrol', an online content service ranking site, the Netflix Korean original series 'Hell', which was released on the 19th, took the first place in the world in the Netflix TV program category within one day of its release.
Flix Patrol reflects the ratings of the previous day's ratings by reflecting the 24-hour ratings for each platform and sector.
'Hell' ranked first in 24 countries including Korea, Belgium, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Mexico and Saudi Arabia, second in India, France and Brazil, and third in the United States, Canada, and Turkey.
'Squid Game', which had maintained the No. 1 position, gave way to 'Hell' and came down to second place.
As a result, Korean content took the first and second places in the global rankings.
The historical drama romance 'Yeonmo' also ranked 9th, and three Korean works entered the top 10.
'Hell' is a story that takes place when a supernatural phenomenon occurs in which a messenger from hell visits and takes their life at the predicted time for those who have been sentenced to hell. It is a work depicting a struggle.
Based on a webtoon, director Yeon Sang-ho of the movies 'The King of Pigs' and 'Train to Busan' wrote the original webtoon together with writer Choi Gye-seok, and was in charge of directing and scripting this series.
