MIPCOM 2026

Sky Blue Cinematics has signed a memorandum of understanding with Studio Jeonshi to develop global brand partnerships for season two of Monks in the Kitchen, the acclaimed Korean temple food series, expanding the group's global footprint.

The memorandum of understanding was signed at the Korea Pavilion during MIPCOM Cannes by Chairman Dato' Manikandan Murthy Velayudham for Sky Blue Cinematics, and Chaeyeong Kim, Global Marketing Lead and Producer, on behalf of Studio Jeonshi Chief Executive Officer Baek Hyun-seok.

Season one peaked at a two-point-five percent rating on Korean Broadcasting System and has over one-point-five million cumulative views of YouTube highlights.

The marquee gathering on the industry calendar kicks off tomorrow morning in the south of France.
