Orion Cinema Network, most commonly known by the abbreviation OCN, 

is a movie channel on basic cable throughout South Korea, owned by CJ E&M. 

In the 2000s it became the most viewed station in South Korea, which prompted them 

to create their widely recognized English-language slogan, "Korea number-one channel." 

With cable TV penetration quite high in South Korea, OCN is a popular movie resource.

OCN's lineup is a mixture of movies from several years ago or earlier, particularly during 

the daytime, with more recent films during evening prime-time hours. They do not air movies 

that are as recent as those of sister station CatchOn, a pay service offered on cable TV. 

They also show episodes of popular overseas television series, mostly from the United States.

So now we knew about OCN!

Let's take a look at the company who own OCN : CJ E&M

CJ E&M (CJ Entertainment and Media)

In 2010, CJ Media, CJ Entertainment, Mnet media, On-Media and CJ Internet merged to form 

O Media Holdings, which became CJ E&M in March 2011. Since then, CJ E&M has been highly influential in its contribution to Korean pop culture and the "Korean Wave" (Korean: hallyu), a phenomenon of the spread of Korean culture, through the creation of successful TV programs such as "Superstar K,", "Respond 1997", and films such as "Masquerade". Since introducing the first multiplex theaters, CGV, in 1988 to South Korea, the company has been developing what it calls "cultureplex", a space where eateries, performance halls, shops and multiplex theaters come together to provide a more rich cultural experience to consumers, CGV Cheongdam Cine City, which opened in 2011 being an example.

Global Expansion

CEO Lee Jay-Hyun has announced 2013 to be the start of CJ's full-fledged global expansion efforts, setting 2020 as their goal of achieving its vision of "Great CJ". By 2020, the conglomerate hopes to reach 100 trillion won in sales, 70 percent of which they expect will come from abroad, and to grow into the world's No.1 at least two of its core businesses. As of 2013, CJ has penetrated into the global market throughout Japan, China, Europe, the U.S. and South America (especially Brazil).

Entertainment & media

CJ E&M leads the Korean wave with its K-pop content business. "Mnet Asian Music Awards" 

was held in Macau in 2010, Singapore in 2011 and in Hong Kong in 2012 and 2013, attracting 

more than 1 billion viewers worldwide. CJ CGV, CJ's movie business, is expected to open 15 IMAX theaters in China by the end of 2015. through new joint projects across China.
