Dexter Pictures announced on 31 August that fantasy romance DIVE INTO YOU will premiere on 26 September. Disney+ and Channel A carry it in Korea, Disney+ carries it in Japan, and Rakuten Viki participates in investment, production and distribution across its footprint. The structure connects Korea's Dexter Pictures, the Korean subsidiary of Japan's Amuse Entertainment, and U.S.-founded Rakuten Viki. Dexter describes this as Viki's first investment and production participation in a Korean drama.
One owned IP is divided across three platform relationships

Keeping the IP preserves the producer's next negotiation
Short-drama and animation companies often treat a global platform as the end of a deal. This case supports a different reading: platforms solve viewing in particular markets and periods, while original-IP rights determine whether the project can be remade, renewed, published or merchandised. A producer that gives away characters, world, music and derivatives early may receive only production income despite broad premiere coverage. Retaining rights also brings development, legal, trademark, archive and partner-coordination obligations.
The public release does not disclose price or exclusivity term
All commercial interpretation currently begins with Dexter's own release. It does not disclose investment, minimum guarantees, acquisition fees, exclusivity, revenue split, complete territory lists or the actual subtitle-language coverage for this title behind Viki's claim of supporting up to two hundred languages. The company also cites rankings and awards for an earlier production; those outcomes do not transfer automatically. After 26 September, title pages, tracks, captions, territory access and campaign material need direct capture before renewals or derivatives can be assessed.
