About
Kinolights is South Korea's leading content aggregator and OTT integrated search and recommendation platform for movies, dramas, and TV programs. Launched in March 2020, the platform aggregates content metadata across major Korean and global OTT services — including Netflix, Disney+, Wavve, TVING, Coupang Play, and Watcha — and ranks trending content in a daily TOP 100. Its proprietary 'Traffic Light' review system, curated by an authorized critics pool, functions as a Korean equivalent of Rotten Tomatoes. Kinolights also offers personalized content curation based on users' OTT subscription status, a community feature, and exclusive industry movie events. The platform reached 800,000 monthly active users as of March 2024 with a 40% M1 retention rate and has expanded into film distribution.
