The JoongAng Group signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) outlining joint initiatives that leverage Korean content, the local media conglomerate said Tuesday.
The MOU, formalized Monday at the JoongAng Ilbo Building, secures a base for the JoongAng Group to expand its entertainment business in the Middle East. It plans to export content produced by its affiliates JTBC and SLL JoongAng to Dubai, and host future in-house events in the city.
The JoongAng Group and the DET will also collaborate on sports events, including mutual exchanges between the annual JTBC Seoul Marathon and the Dubai Marathon, and explore new business opportunities linked to the Dubai Fitness Challenge, a monthlong festival of health, fitness and well-being in Dubai.
