“iQiyi presents such a fantastic opportunity for brands in North America that want to reach the Asian market, to align themselves with programming that reinforces their brand’s mandate and image. North America, and Canada in particular, has been ripe for a mature Asian media platform — and now it’s here”, says Justin Poy, President of The Justin Poy Agency.

This year’s most-anticipated Korean action-adventure mystery thriller Jirisan starring Jun Ji-hyun and Ju Ji-hoon is an iQiyi International original and exclusive K-Drama series.
