BBC Studios Asia, Studio JanChi Team for ’12 Seas’ Korean Food Series


BBC Studios Asia partners with Studio JanChi on '12 Seas,' a Korean seafood series starring chef Edward Lee and actor Ryu Soo-young.

The series follows Chef Edward Lee and actor Ryu Soo-young as they traverse South Korea’s coastline across four seasons, unveiling the secrets behind the country’s most iconic seafood dishes. The adventurous duo will brave rocky shores to harvest wild seaweed using the traditional “Ttulidae” method and join local fishermen catching anchovies with centuries-old bamboo fish traps, immersing themselves in Korea’s rich maritime heritage. The co-production follows the recent success of “Deep Dive Korea: Song Ji Hyo’s Haenyeo Adventure,” BBC Studios Asia’s first original with JTBC, marking the company’s growing investment in Korean content featuring Asian talent, locations and stories.
