Netflix said Tuesday it will bring its television and movie streaming to four new locations in Asia—South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Tha US giant first made its debut in Asia earlier this month launching service in Japan.

"The combination of increasing Internet speeds and ubiquity of connected devices provides consumers with the anytime, anywhere ability to enjoy their favorite TV shows and movies on the Netflix service," said CEO Reed Hastings. "These four markets well represent those trends."
