Startup Immersive Content
ZeroQuest is an AI-based net-zero solution company that combines artificial intelligence with carbon reduction data to build a more sustainable society. Its key products are divided into two main areas: carbon reduction projects and AI projects. In the carbon reduction sector, the company’s core services are StepQuest and Susty Cup. StepQuest is a platform that measures stair-use behavior instead of elevators or escalators through NFC, GPS, and sensor technologies, then quantifies energy savings and carbon reduction. This allows individuals to verify their eco-friendly actions with data, while companies and institutions can use the results for ESG performance management and carbon reduction campaigns. Susty Cup is an NFC-based reusable cup tracking solution that visualizes the reduction of disposable cup use and related carbon savings, making it useful for universities, public institutions, companies, and franchises seeking practical ESG implementation.
In the AI sector, ZeroQuest’s representative projects are K-Mate and AIvisor. K-Mate is a Korean language and cultural learning platform that combines Korean Wave content, generative AI, and video-call style interaction, enabling global users to learn Korean in a more immersive way through K-pop, K-dramas, and K-culture. AIvisor is a camera-based generative AI recycling guide service that helps users identify how to separate waste, understand recycling processes, and estimate carbon reduction effects simply by taking a photo of an item. Through these solutions, ZeroQuest is building both measurable carbon reduction services and practical AI tools that improve daily life, positioning itself as a company that advances sustainability and user experience at the same time.
Book21 Publishing Group
Character Animation Other
BOOK21 Inc. was established in 1990 with the spirit of "Unlike yesterday, Unlike others.""
For the growth and development of the publishing industry in the 21st century, we boldly abandoned the existing family and traditional publishing system and adopted transparent management and meritocracy based on sharing and sharing. In addition, planning and marketing centered on planning and marketing, regularization of quarterly workshops centered on talent, and bold editing and design outsourcing started the efficient operation of publishers.
As a content provider, BOOK21 is leading the flow of the Korean publishing industry by differentiating brands by field and strategy.
In addition, in order to grow into a content leader that breaks down boundaries, we plan to expand our video media business to grow into a content company.

<NINIKids>
NINIKIDS is a representative channel for children's content operated by Book21.
It’s a popular kids’ channel that reached 1 million subscribers within two and a half years of launching, and has now surpassed a total of 2 million subscribers worldwide, continuing to grow steadily.
With videos realized in 2D animation, we produce contents that contain various play education contents based on the enjoyment process such as colors, animals, dinosaurs, and emotional expressions.
With the concept of a fairy who protects emotions, the characters are designed based on animals familiar to children and lead the story of the content.
Starting with the Korean channel, we are currently operating multiple language channels by translating and dubbing into English/Spanish/Indonesian channels.
In the future, we aim to become a mega kids IP by expanding various educational contents for children not only domestically but also globally.

<Magic Hanja>
It is the best-selling children's learning comic book in Korea and has now sold more than 23 million copies.
The combination of Chinese characters, magical fantasy elements, and the educational elements of Cheonjamun became sensationally popular, and it is still a bestseller 20 years after its first publication.
In addition, we have expanded our business in various ways such as TV animation, theater version, and toys, and we are still expanding our partnership using IP.
Centralized LLC.
Character Immersive Content Story Other
Founded in 2014 in South Korea, Centralized LLC. began as a publishing company and has evolved into a character IP development and global licensing company built on strong storytelling foundations.
Our flagship IP, Dr. Robot Teo, is a 14-volume science picture book series that tells inspiring stories about robots and technologies designed to benefit humanity. Loved by young readers, the series combines imagination, scientific thinking, and emotional warmth, making it both educational and deeply engaging.
Unlike many IPs that originate from animation and later expand into merchandise, Dr. Robot Teo is a meaningful, story-driven IP that began as a successful book series with an established readership. This provides a solid narrative universe and a loyal fan base—creating a stable and long-term licensing foundation.
The story centers on coexistence between humans and technology, exploring themes such as AI, space exploration, environmental sustainability, and rescue engineering. Through these themes, children are encouraged to imagine and dream about a future where technology and humanity thrive together.
The robot characters within the series possess strong individual identities and a distinctive world-building structure, offering high scalability across multiple platforms and product categories.
We are currently preparing for the production of a full-length animation series. At the same time, the IP is strategically expanding into:

Exhibitions and science experience programs
STEAM educational kits
Live performances
Toys and collectibles
Stationery and lifestyle products

Centralized’s strength lies not only in science-themed storytelling, but in its ability to combine educational value, emotional resonance, and long-term brand vision into a scalable global IP model.
