Disney+ and KBS2 Partner for Mega-Scale Project ‘Twelve’

Disney+ and KBS2 have unveiled their exciting new joint project, ‘Twelve,’ set to premiere on August 23. This mega-scale series is creating quite a buzz, especially with its star-studded cast, including Ma Dong Seok, Park Hyung Sik, Seo In Guk, and Sung Dong Il. The show will air on both an OTT platform and a terrestrial broadcaster at the same time, a unique approach that has fans eagerly anticipating its release.

KBS2 has announced a programming schedule change, moving its traditional Wednesday-Thursday time slot to Saturday-Sunday to create a dedicated “drama zone.” ‘Twelve’ will be the first to kick off this new strategy, airing every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM on KBS2, with simultaneous streaming on Disney+. The series draws inspiration from the Eastern zodiac, weaving a tale of 12 celestial beings disguised as humans battling evil forces to protect mankind across generations.

The cast of ‘Twelve’ boasts unique characters and compelling performances. Ma Dong Seok plays the tiger angel leader, Park Hyung Sik as the villain, Seo In Guk as the witty monkey angel, and many more intriguing roles, each with distinct animal motifs and traits. The series promises not just superhero action but a deep exploration of justice, sacrifice, and solidarity in a fantastical universe.

In addition to ‘Twelve,’ another exciting weekend miniseries to look forward to on KBS2 is ‘A Good Day’ for Eunsoo, starring Lee Young Ae, Kim Young Kwang, and Park Yong Woo. This mystery drama delves into a complex partnership between an everyday parent and a mysterious teacher, offering intense psychological warfare and suspenseful twists.

The launch of ‘Twelve’ alongside KBS’s new weekend miniseries lineup showcases a commitment to content diversity and platform integration. With the powerhouse ensemble led by Ma Dong Seok, fans are eager to see how this bold move will shape the success of K-dramas this summer.
