Mr. Queen, another South Korean TV show, appears 4th in MUSO’s global streaming data for January 2021. Like True Beauty this show was originally aired on the South Korean cable channel tvN. The first episode of Mr. Queen was broadcast on December 12th with the final episode airing on Feb 14th 2021.
Mr. Queen also has global appeal with highest demand from the US.

This trend was evident back in August 2019 when MUSO’s data revealed that Hotel Del Luna, another tvN show, was the most in demand unlicensed streaming title of that month.
Hotel Del Luna was acquired by Netflix globally (excluding South Korea) after its release and a US remake was announced on June 24th 2020, almost a year after it first appeared in MUSO’s piracy data.
MUSO Discover is a powerful predictive tool and provides early indication of global hits and content trends, often before they are available via other channels and this is highlighted in MUSO’s January 2021 data for True Beauty and Mr. Queen.
With such high global piracy demand MUSO anticipates a forthcoming bidding war over the rights for these shows.
