SUBCULTURE DISTRIBUTION CHALLENGESSOLVED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND PARTNERSHIPS

Market challenges

Structural challenges in subculture content distribution

Delay
Long contracting and release cycles

The process from licensing to publication typically takes six months or longer, creating a significant gap between the original release and its Korean release.

Imbalance
Imports concentrated on popular titles

An import structure centered on popular titles limits opportunities for diverse IP from small and midsize Japanese publishers to reach Korean readers.

Piracy
Value erosion from illegal distribution

The distribution of unauthorized copies and translations undermines the legitimate earnings of creators and rights holders and erodes content value.

Core strategy

An official distribution system built on technology and partnerships

Efficiency
Shorter official-release lead times

Our proprietary distribution system processes translation, lettering, quality control, and uploads in parallel, reducing official-release lead times to approximately two weeks.

Diversity
Discovering and distributing diverse IP

We discover and distribute IP from small and midsize Japanese publishers, creating new sales opportunities for publishers and broader choices for readers.

Protection
Official distribution and rights protection

Through formal agreements and stable distribution, we protect creators’ rights and preserve content value.
