\n\tBBC Studios Asia has unveiled its first co-production with Korean production company Studio JanChi, a four-part culinary travel<\/a> series<\/a> titled 12 Seas<\/em> (working title).<\/p>\n

\n\tAnnounced during this week\u2019s APOS media<\/a> summit in Bali, the project is part of BBC Studios\u2019 growing partnership with the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), and signals the company\u2019s continued investment in Asian storytelling with global app<\/a>eal.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new series, slated to debut on BBC Earth and BBC Player across Asia in 2026, follows acclaimed Korean-American chef Edward Lee and actor Ryu Soo-young as they embark on a seasonal voyage around the South Korean coastline, exploring the traditions and techniques behind the country\u2019s most iconic seafood dishes. From harvesting seaweed by hand on rugged tidal flats using the traditional Ttulidae method to fishing for anchovies with bamboo traps passed down for generations, the pair will immerse themselves in Korea\u2019s maritime food heritage, BBC Asia says.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStudio JanChi are leading producers of K-food titles and we were immediately drawn to their concept for 12 Seas<\/em>, which will offer BBC Earth audiences a new perspective on Korea and its seafood through the eyes of acclaimed chef Edward Lee and his foodie accomplice Ryu Soo-young,\u201d said Ryan Shiotani, SVP of Content at BBC Studios Asia. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe series follows the recent success of Deep Dive Korea: Song Ji Hyo\u2019s Haenyeo Adventure<\/em>, BBC Studios Asia\u2019s first Korean original, produced in collaboration with local broadcaster JTBC.<\/p>\n

\n\tStudio JanChi, known for culinary documentaries such as Korean Pork Belly Rhapsody and A Nation of Kimchi, won the pitch for the co-production following a competition launched by BBC Studios and KOCCA last year. The company, a subsidiary of ELTV, has carved out a niche as a producer of culturally rich, food-themed factual content.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be working on this title with BBC Studios after our winning pitch last year,\u201d said Heonseok Baek, CEO of Studio JanChi. \u201cWith three distinct seas, home to one of the world\u2019s five largest tidal flats, and over 3,000 islands, the story of seafood and the ocean is inseparable from Korea \u2014 and we\u2019re looking forward to telling this story to audiences in Asia and beyond with BBC Studios.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBBC Studios will handle global distribution of 12 Seas<\/em> outside of Korea, while Studio JanChi retains Korean broadcast rights. The series is currently in production, with its release set for next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
