JWK Ent
Animation Story Other
- JWK ENT is a content production company specializing in the development, planning, and production of feature-length animation. Founded in 2021, the company has focused on developing original IP rooted in Korea’s distinctive emotional sensibility and mythological imagination.
CEO Jung Wookyung has over 20 years of international animation production experience. At ToonBox Entertainment in Canada, he served as Main Producer and overall production supervisor, overseeing the full production of the feature animated films The Nut Job, which opened at No. 2 at the North American box office and generated approximately KRW 160 billion in worldwide revenue, and Spark.
He later served as Head of Animation at Mofac & Alfred Imageworks, where he participated in the global production of Illumination’s Minions short film DRENCHED. He also joined King of Kings, formerly titled The Life of Our Lord, as a producer and played a key role in its early development process, including the revision of the first draft, concept design development, pre-production setup, and the production of the first trailer.
King of Kings later achieved strong commercial and audience results, including a No. 2 opening at the North American box office, approximately USD 60 million in North American box office revenue, one million admissions in Korea within 19 days of release, a 98% Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter score, and an A+ CinemaScore. This hands-on experience across the full production pipeline — from pre-production and production management to pipeline development and international co-production — forms the core competency of JWK ENT.
JWK ENT is currently pursuing global co-production and investment for its two flagship projects, Haesol and The Millennium Forest. Haesol advanced to the final round of the Korea Story Contest, selected from approximately 2,500 submissions, and was presented through an on-site pitching session at MIFA, the industry market of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, in 2025. The project has also passed the preliminary review of a Korea Creative Content Agency animation planning and development program and is currently under final review, with results expected in June.
JWK ENT aims to develop premium feature-length animated films that combine a distinctly Korean worldview with universally resonant emotional storytelling, and to expand these works into global IP across multiple formats, including theatrical releases, series, games, publishing, and character licensing.

Our first TV series “The White Seal” was produced under a joint investment with EBS and Seoul Business Agency which was broadcast in EBS for 15 months from 2008 to the next year. With a great deal of love and support by children, “The White Seal” has been broadcast until now in many media throughout our country such as Tooniverse, JEI TV, Daekyo Kids TV, Sky/TV and QookTV. It has been exported to overseas such as the Middle East, Taiwan and Philippines.
In addition, we have been recognized for our special animation production experience and technology while we were awarded an excellence prize and a graphic achievement prize from 2007 Digital Contents Grand Prize and acquired a venture certificate in the same year and a certificate of qualifications for a specialized industrial design company in 2011. We were selected as a social company by Seoul Metropolitan Government during 2010 as we are making main efforts to produce animation with contents for public interests containing the future values which can be recommended to children.
We produced a multi-cultural animation “Choum’s Green School” in six episodes which was broadcast in EBS during 2010 and “Old Stories in Asia” in six episodes together with UNESCO in 2011. Besides, we have produced many educational contents including animations about environments for education in the elementary, middle and high school and animations about history for museums, as well as CF animations such as Smurf series for Optimus One of LG Electronics.
Studio Holhory will continue to develop animations in high perfection which can be recognized throughout the world in the future. Especially, Holhory will strive for positioning as a production company for movie contents in pursuit of social values while actively producing animations dealing with issues in the community. Those issues include considerations for environment-friendliness, education, and multi-cultural and disabled children.

We aim at works where both artistic and commercial characteristics in good balance between colors unique to directors and know-how on the industrial system in the animation style, while thinking hard for the fruitfulness of contents through our thorough field works and historical research.
Studio Holhory is seeking for animations to speak out responsible voices including history, environment, multi-culture and human rights together with the community in an effort to make contributions to our society while expanding social access rights to animations.
Various Genre Experiments and Artistic Exploration
Studio Holhory is not limited the distinction of genres such as 2D, 3D and digital cutout. We have implemented various technical attempts in line with contents for the effective delivery of contents in the animation production.
There were many concerns when we attempted to product the whole background in the watercolor painting while producing a TV series “The White Seal”. However, we could produce the successful and beautiful images through our persistent and various experiments and trials. We have never spared any attempt for various and artistic trials in producing images in a higher level than any other piece of a work all the time.
