Starting with "Yonder", Viacom CBS plans to jointly invest in the production of a total of seven original TVING works.

Starting with cooperation with Viacom CBS, we will build a global-scale original content investment infrastructure to become the 'NO.1 K-content platform', a TVING official said. "We plan to launch 'Paramount Plus Brand Hall' in the first half and introduce popular content of Viacom CBS to domestic users".

Meanwhile, "Yonder" is a story that takes place when a man who received a message from his deceased wife is invited to an unknown space "Yonder" where he can meet her. Actors Shin Ha-kyun, Han Ji-min, Lee Jung-eun and Jung Jin-young appear.

"Yonder" will be unveiled on TVING and Paramount Plus this year.
