Since the surprising announcement of their partnership in 2023, Netflix and GS Retail have created an unprecedented success story in content-IP collaboration marketing. Over the past three years, GS25's exclusive F&B products — featuring Netflix IPs such as "Black and White Chef" and "Squid Game" — have sold more than 30 million units, generating over 80 billion KRW in revenue. The brand value created through this collaboration is estimated to be ten times greater.

The success of this partnership didn’t stop in Korea. These collaborative products have now expanded into over 10 countries, establishing themselves as a prime example of K-content marketing on a global scale.
