Structured like soap operas, these micro-dramas are built from dozens of one- to two-minute installments. Most episodes finish with a jarring twist designed to keep viewers coming back. Lately, creators have begun using AI to seamlessly alter actors\u2019 faces and backgrounds, and those clips are proliferating quickly.<\/p>\n<p>In China, the micro-drama format is expanding fast. Born in the COVID-19 era, it has become one of the entertainment sector\u2019s fastest-growing niches.<\/p>\n<p>About 660 million people watched these shows in 2024. Industry projections put this year\u2019s revenue north of 120 billion yuan (approximately $19.2 billion) \u2014 roughly 25.58 trillion KRW (about $19.2 billion) \u2014 nearly double China\u2019s entire box office haul of 68 billion yuan (roughly 14.5 trillion KRW (about $10.9 billion)).<\/p>\n<p>The format is spreading internationally. Chinese short-form apps such as RillShot, DramaBox and TopShot are beefing up their services abroad, and domestic firms like Spoon Labs have started producing AI-assisted short dramas on platforms such as BeGlue.<\/p>\n<p><u><span>South China Morning Post<\/span><\/u> reports that much of the micro-drama boom boils down to economics: low production costs and rapid turnaround make profitability far easier than in traditional drama production.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese studios are racing to shave costs and compress schedules with AI tools. Some claim they can produce AI-driven episodes for roughly $30 per minute (about 43,600 KRW per minute).<\/p>\n<p>Content companies say they now spend about 30% of production budgets on AI, shortening production cycles from three months to one and cutting costs to roughly one-fifth of conventional shoots. Tools such as ByteDance\u2019s XiDance 2.0, Kuaishou\u2019s Kling 3.0 and Shengshu\u2019s Bidu have improved markedly; for some viewers, AI-generated material already feels nearly indistinguishable from live-action in certain respects.<\/p>\n<p>That has driven a surge in AI-powered micro-dramas. One report said platforms released an average of more than 470 AI micro-dramas per day in January alone.<\/p>\n<p>Their popularity has jumped: micro-dramas now account for 38% of the top-100 drama chart, up from just 7% a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Douyin \u2014 China\u2019s version of TikTok \u2014 reportedly added about 50,000 AI-produced items, a pace exceeding 1,600 pieces a day.<\/p>\n<p>Local governments have played a role, offering tax breaks, subsidies, GPU access, data privileges and traffic support to studios that produce micro-dramas.<\/p>\n<p>Chongqing built the Liangjiang Film, TV and Animation Cultural Creation Park to support vertical-format production; more than 300 production teams reportedly visit each year. Linping in Zhejiang Province has invested over 100 million yuan (roughly 21.32 billion KRW, about $16.0 million) to back creators and launched China\u2019s first micro-drama production hub.<\/p>\n<p>In January, state broadcaster CCTV even produced an AI comedy drama, a signal of official-level support for the technology.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts say China\u2019s micro-drama sector has achieved international competitiveness. Government backing, a growing ecosystem and rapid AI advances have combined to form an ecosystem that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>But the fast embrace of AI has also sparked disputes over intellectual property and performers\u2019 rights. Some AI-generated stars have drawn comparisons to well-known Chinese actors, and experts warn that even without using actual photos, AI characters that viewers identify as real performers can trigger portrait-rights claims.<\/p>\n<p>Actors report a sudden drop in opportunities. Li Zhao, a background-actor specialist, told <span><u>The New York Times<\/u><\/span> that jobs have evaporated in recent months and that the group chat where actors once shared gigs has gone quiet \u2014 &#8220;as if the rain just stopped all at once,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In response, China\u2019s National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA) tightened registration and review rules for AI-generated content. Existing works must be reviewed by the end of March 2026 or face removal.<\/p>\n<p>Those rules may slow the pace of releases, but regulators and industry figures say they could push creators toward higher-quality, compliant productions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"photo-layout\" image photo_212773 float-center data-idxno=\"212773\" data-type=\"photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\uc911\uad6d \uc0ac\uc774\ub2e4 \ub4dc\ub77c\ub9c8\" \uac80\uc0c9 \uacb0\uacfc (\uc0ac\uc9c4=\"\uc720\ud29c\ube0c)\" height=\"703\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0238\/image-820d0d1c-6e8c-449a-9f60-80fc72a016e7.png\" width=\"967\"><figcaption>\n   &#8216;Search results for Chinese soda drama&#8217; (Photo=YouTube)<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Chinese micro-dramas are now finding international audiences. From January through August 2025, overseas micro-drama revenue reached $1.525 billion \u2014 a 195% year-over-year jump. Major producers have built substantial user bases in the U.S. and Southeast Asia; short formats alone generated $400 million in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The model contrasts with South Korea\u2019s drama industry, which typically concentrates resources on a handful of mega-hits.<\/p>\n<p>Yuki B. Lee, CEO of brand consultancy Helios Worldwide, said China may offer an alternative to what she called &#8220;K-drama inflation&#8221; \u2014 showing that low-budget, high-volume content can collectively earn more than a single blockbuster.<\/p>\n<p>When a ByteDance-made XiDance clip went viral in February, a U.S. filmmaker reportedly reacted, &#8220;We\u2019re doomed,&#8221; reflecting industry unease.<\/p>\n<p>Observers are now watching how China\u2019s system \u2014 beyond just AI tools \u2014 could reshape global content production. Some argue AI-driven micro-drama factories are turning entertainment into a mass-production business.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a strategy focused on speed and volume can sustain long-term quality is unclear. The question is whether China\u2019s AI-powered content factories can close quality gaps and set a new global standard.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top stories as of the 6th.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"photo-layout\" image photo_212774 float-center data-idxno=\"212774\" data-type=\"photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"height=447\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/image\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0238\/image-f50a7792-71a3-4a99-983e-3cc53ecb8c59.png\" width=\"536\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u25a0 <span><u><strong>[AI &amp; Big Data Show] South Korea\u2019s Largest AI Exhibition Opens at COEX in June<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The main exhibition of STK 2026, the AI &amp; Big Data Show, runs June 10\u201312 at COEX in Seoul.
