"The Rollercoaster", Korean mystery detective "Jeong Yak-yong" Become Smash Hits on Cable NetworksViewers' Perception of Cable Networks Is Also Changing
Cable networks are stepping up their efforts to produce their own programs. Previously, cable networks simply served as an outlet for reruns of programs produced by major broadcasting networks.
Recently, however, they have begun launching their own productions including dramas, entertainment and educational programs and other shows which have proven quite successful. Last year, some cable channel programs such as "The Rollercoaster" (tvN) and Superstar K (Mnet) gained explosive popularity and even changed the way people think about cable networks.
In an effort to meet the viewers' changing expectations, cable channels are rushing to roll out new programs. Celebrities who previously appeared only on major TV networks or in movies are now showing up on cable channels as well, confirming the changing status of cable networks.
