Today’s episode features a conversation from our 2025 Q4 Short Drama Forum with Jeebok Park — the founder of the global micro-drama platform Shortime and Shortime Studio.
Jeebok talks about what makes short dramas fundamentally different from film and TV, why emotional engagement matters more than any metric, and how BL/GL fandoms became the foundation of their global growth.
We also discuss how Shortime works with creators around the world, what types of stories travel best, and why he believes micro-dramas will become a mainstream global entertainment format.
