Netflix started to produce original content starting in 2017. Their goal was to have half of their streaming library comprised of content they produced in-house. To date, Netflix has invested over $11.8 billion in producing original series and films. $1 billion of that has gone into producing Korean original content and it has paid off for them. Squid Game was a massive success in 2021 and Space Sweepers was one of the most popular Korean original films on Netflix. 

Space Sweepers was originally made for theatrical release but later was released exclusively on Netflix due to COVID-19. The film got over 26 million views in the first month of its release. It is not just a Korean film but a truly global film with space gangs ranging in many nationalities from French to Chinese. Thanks to technology, translation devices make it possible for everyone to understand each other. 

Overall, Korean dramas, series, and films are gaining in popularity globally. This article will focus on Korean original films, however, we also did an article on the most anticipated Korean original series here. Make sure to check back throughout the year for updates as new releases are announced. For now, here are the upcoming Korean original films on Netflix for 2022.
