  YG Entertainment said Monday it will invest in the South Korean remake of the Chinese soap opera "Scarlet Heart" to be shown in the two countries in the latter half of this year.

  YG  will join US-based media and entertainment group NBCUniversal and a local production company in financing and producing the series.

  The South Korean version "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo" starring actor Lee Joon-gi and singer-songwriter IU  is the first Asian soap opera to be financed by NBCUniversal. It also features actors Kang Ha-neul and Baekheon of South Korean boy band EXO.

  YG will seek various business ventures related to "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo" in cosmetics, media commerce and character designs.
