Our journey began with the world’s first graphene dress bag in 2020, produced in collaboration with renowned artists and designers.

At EUNHUHOLDINGS, we pioneer the MAPS model (Movie After Product Synergy) — launching character-driven products first, then releasing the film or animation to amplify brand impact and generate powerful synergy across markets.
Our mission is simple: to create content that moves the world and products that let fans bring that story into their everyday lives.
