Two productions from CJ ENM-affiliated studios nominated for the 54th International Emmy® Awards

Two major works in which CJ ENM (CEO Yoon Sang-hyun) and its domestic and international studio affiliates participated in production have been named as nominees for the 54th International Emmy® Awards. This achievement is evaluated as a fruit of the global multi-studio system that CJ ENM has firmly established to target both domestic and international markets.

Two works representing the United Kingdom and South Korea nominated in respective categories

'A THOUSAND BLOWS', which is nominated in the Drama Series category, is a work co-produced by 'The Story Collective', a label under FIFTH SEASON, the United States subsidiary of CJ ENM. Set in the rough lower-class world and crime dens of the East End of London in the 1880s, it depicts the survival and power struggles that occur as two friends from Jamaica dive into the dangerous world of bare-knuckle boxing.

In the TV Movie/Mini-Series category, the medical thriller 'HYPER KNIFE', co-produced by CJ ENM STUDIOS, has received the honor of a nomination. 'HYPER KNIFE' is a work depicting the intense confrontation that unfolds when 'Se-ok', who was once a promising genius doctor, reunites with 'Deok-hui', the mentor who drove her into the abyss; it stars actors Park Eun-bin and Sul Kyung Gu.

Tangible achievements of the global studio network

The International Emmy® Awards is a world-renowned awards ceremony presented to the highest quality television programs produced outside the United States. Amid intense competition among major global platforms this year, works produced by CJ ENM-affiliated domestic and international studios were named in major categories representing the United Kingdom and South Korea, once again engraving their solid planning and production capabilities in the global market.

Previously, CJ ENM solidified its status as a global cultural bridge by successfully hosting the '2026 International Emmy® Awards Semi-final Judging' in Seoul for the second consecutive year. This International Emmy® Awards nomination achievement shows that such a global value chain and multi-faceted studio network are leading to tangible creative achievements in domestic and international local markets.

A CJ ENM official stated, "This International Emmy® Awards nomination is a result showing that the global studio network CJ ENM has built in various ways is producing tangible results in domestic and international local markets," adding, "We will continue to focus on producing differentiated IP that can attract global viewers."

The final winners of the 54th International Emmy® Awards will be announced at the main ceremony to be held on November 23 in New York, United States.
