The memorandum of understanding (MOU) marked a significant collaboration between Taiwan and South Korea in the film and television industry.

Mr. Romance CEO Shim Se-yoon emphasized the partnership's potential to create new opportunities in the global content market, exploring collaboration possibilities with Taiwanese companies Da-Mu Pictures and Rabbit Creative. Lee Hyung-koo of Moving Pictures Co. believes this MOU will serve as a crucial stepping stone for Taiwan and South Korea to enter the international market, planning more globally oriented productions with Taiwanese partners.
