It details studio output volumes, including annual webtoon and novel releases and 3D background/prop production distributed via DontDraw and external partners. The document explains a scalable production system, the Villiverse creative fictional universe, and a strategy focused on platform launch success, non-exclusive distribution, IP acquisition, and global network expansion.","Future Unicorns  \nStorySoop, an Innovative  \nPlatform for Webtoons, Web Novels and 3D Contents  \nAbout the Company  \nStorySoop is a content provider that plans, produces, and distributes transmedia storytelling contents, and a global content specialist that supplies its content (i.e. , webtoons, web novels, and 3D content) in thirteen languages, 26 Korean platforms and 41 overseas platforms. StorySoop's webtoon studio produces more than 36 webtoons annually; its web novel studio distributes more than 60 novels each year on various webtoon/web novel platforms; and its 3D studio has the largest content inventory in Korea, producing more than 200 background/prop contents every year and distributing them through its own platform DontDraw as well as external platforms.  \nStorySoop operates the Webtoon Story Creation Research Center (government-authorized as a Corporate Affiliated Creative Research Institute), runs Korea's only studio covering all three areas of webtoons, web novels and 3D content, and established a production system by successfully dividing labor. These are StorySoop’s core competitiveness and differentiating factors enabling the company to build a foundation for improving production quality, upgrading professionalism, and ensuring mass production. Moreover, StorySoop is continuously producing original IP works based on epic stories with interconnected stories, characters, and regions linked by its Villiverse (StorySoop’s transmedia fictional universe) that continues to evolve. At the same time, StorySoop is planning and expanding its business areas by pursuing projects that combine various forms of content IP  \nBackground  \nAs contents providers (production companies) of the webtoon and web novel market supply their contents to consumers through various platforms, their success relies as much on successfully launching on these platforms as producing high-quality works. Considering that the Korean webtoon and web novel market is currently dominated by Kakao and Naver enjoying a combined market share of more than 70%, StorySoop focuses on exclusively launching on the two platforms while minimizing the risks of launch failure by building the network for non-exclusive launches and producing jointly with global partners. At the same time, StorySoop produces original IPs based on its transmedia storytelling universe Villiverse to raise chances of continuous success.  \nAbout the Product  \nWebtoons and Web Novels  \nStorySoop’s webtoons can be categorized into original IPs, novel comics, and outsourced works. Original IPs refer to works in which StorySoop holds all copyrights of the story and creation, while novel comics refers to webtoons produced based on other web novels. Outsourced works refer to those produced in Japan, China and other countries and distributed in Korea by StorySoop purchasing the exclusive distribution rights through its global network. Each year, StorySoop launches more than three original IPs, 15 Novel Comics, and 30 outsourced works on various platforms, while also expanding its global distribution network by distributing works on the overseas platforms of Kakao and Naver as well as StorySoop’s own local platforms. StorySoop is continuously creating stories in its government-authorized Corporate Affiliated Creative Research Institute, and its webtoon studio strives to shorten production time, improve quality, and upgrade professionalism by dividing labor into storyboard creation, sketching, coloring, assistance work, background creation, and prop creation for successful mass production.  \n3D Contents  \nIn webtoon production, backgrounds and props are mostly created by using the database of 3D contents, and StorySoop is Korea’s leading provider of such 3D backgrounds and props (1,217 IPs and 62,067 DB) . StorySoop leverages its rich database to supply content on its platform DontDraw and other platforms.
