- ① Brand Story “Thought it was a Bottari (bundle)? Surprise—it was a Dokkaebi!” Long ago, our ancestors regarded the Bottari (bundle) as bok—a blessing—believing that when you handed someone a bottari, you passed on blessings as well. Born from that bottari, the Dokkaebi Ddaribossi brings you a bundle of blessings today and every day. <Ddarimongddang>, a traditional character brand that modernly reinterprets Korean Dokkaebi folklore, restores the warm, friendly image of the Dokkaebi through the worldview of the “Blessing-bearing Bottari (bundle) Dokkaebi,” and broadens new, appealing perceptions of Korean tradition. ② Fandom Built on a Distinct Concept Breaking away from the image long overlaid by the Japanese Oni, we define the Dokkaebi as hornless, kind and friendly, and a traditional Korean guardian spirit. This differentiated concept highlights both familiarity and novelty, generating strong appeal and cultural buzz. With powerful storytelling, we evoke emotional resonance and have cultivated a loyal fandom across a wide range of age groups. ③ Credibility & Differentiation Recognized for both cultural value and commercial potential, Ddarimongddang was designated a 2024 Excellent Cultural Product (K-RIBBON) by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Korea), proving its distinct position in the character IP market. Beyond borrowing traditional imagery, our IP integrates storytelling, design, product readiness, and scalability. ④ Sustainability & Format Expansion Even before the “traditional concept” trend surged, Ddarimongddang spent three years consistently building the brand, securing originality and sustainable competitiveness. Its universe and characters can expand into webtoons, books, children’s musicals, games, and animation, enabling tailored content by channel and age group. ⑤ Collaboration References & Distribution Touchpoints We hold multiple collaboration references, including CU’s 2025 Pepero Day special-edition products (nationwide rollout in late October), a cover and event collaboration with Children’s Math Dong-A (a leading children’s publisher), photoframe collaborations with Insaengnecut and Play in the Box (popular photo culture platforms), as well as projects with Incheon-based companies and renowned confectionery brands. These references support licensing expansion across F&B, stationery & toys, fashion, and lifestyle goods. We also broaden consumer touchpoints through placements in Gwangjang Market and Insadong, operation of our online store, and ongoing discussions for overseas licensing, reaching both domestic and international audiences. ⑥ Partner Benefits Backed by a compelling concept and powerful storytelling, Ddarimongddang creates emotional engagement and builds loyal fandom. Its formats are optimized for rapid spread across online communities and social media, generating rapid buzz and expanding audience reach. Partners benefit from distinctive consumer experiences, stronger brand awareness, and practical opportunities for licensing and distribution in both domestic and global markets.
