Disney APAC Content Chief Carol Choi On Disney+’s Premium Streaming Pivot, Live Sports Rights & Korea’s Ongoing Influence


Disney's APAC content chief, Carol Choi, has talked Disney+'s premium streaming pivot, live sports rights and Korea's ongoing influence.

That’s according to Carol Choi, Disney’s Executive Vice-President for APAC(ex-India), Original Content Strategy, who has spoken exclusively to Deadline about her plans for the streamer, which first launched in the region three years ago as part of the global Disney+ rollout. Choi was speaking to Deadline at the Disney APAC Content Showcase in Singapore, addressing topics such as originals, live sports programming and future Southeast Asia plans. Most recently, the livestream of Mike Tyson and Jake Paul’s boxing match (although not without its tech issues) drew huge audiences, and data exclusively shared with Deadline last week showed that around 11.1 million unique viewers from Asia tuned in live or as-live.
