Established in August 2014, our company is a digital publishing firm specializing in webtoons and web novels. We supply content to both domestic and international platforms, and are actively engaged in the creation and commercialization of original IPs. In particular, we have achieved notable success in the field of noble comics—webtoon adaptations based on original web novels.
To date, we have distributed and licensed approximately 430 titles across global markets, including South Korea, China, and Japan. In addition, we are currently preparing for the release of over 50 original titles that are being planned and produced in-house.
Our business portfolio also includes joint production, investment, and distribution of animated content such as The Sound of Your Heart and One Day I Became a Bagel Girl. We have also expanded into secondary OSMU (One Source Multi Use) ventures, including the launch of a mobile game based on the popular webtoon Undead King, as well as ongoing drama adaptations—firmly establishing ourselves as a comprehensive content production and distribution company.
Since becoming a subsidiary of Kakao Entertainment in March 2019, we have positioned ourselves as a core affiliate in the story content division of the Kakao Group. In 2023, we launched a dedicated IP business division to further strengthen and expand secondary business opportunities leveraging our proprietary IP assets.
