CJ E&M has launched a global over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service called "Global Tving." Viewers around the world, except in Korea, China and Japan, can now watch the firm-owned content in real time on PCs or mobile phones through the Global Tving service. The service is part of the firm's project to overcome several limitations of existing content businesses targeting overseas markets, including the time gap of content distribution between countries.

Bibigo, a combination of classic Korean rice dish bibimbap and “go,” has operated mostly in mall food courts since 2010. A previous stand-alone in Westwood with a different design has closed. Now the concept has evolved, with a minimalist space full of white subway tile and accented with plants. Bibigo Fresh Korean Kitchen, the sleek new fast-casual spot in Sawtelle Japantown, features Bibigo’s usual build-your-own bowls but boasts exclusive ingredients and elevated dishes not found at the other locations.
