- Daiwon Media Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based comprehensive entertainment and multimedia content company engaged in animation production, character licensing, gaming distribution, publishing, and retail merchandising. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates across five core business segments: Animation and Content Production, Game Distribution, Character Licensing and Merchandising, Publishing and Web Content, and Retail and Exhibition Services. The company provides a wide range of entertainment products and specialized services, including the planning, production, and distribution of 2D and 3D animated films, live-action visual effects (VFX) television series, and character intellectual properties (IP), featuring proprietary franchises such as Armored Saurus, Dooly the Little Dinosaur, and Running Man, alongside Korean distribution rights for global franchises including Crayon Shin-chan, Doraemon, One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Studio Ghibli theatrical releases; wholesale and retail distribution of video game hardware, software, and accessories as an authorized distributor of Nintendo Switch products in South Korea, as well as video game development, porting, and publishing under the Daewon Media Game Lab label and PC game distribution partnerships including Blizzard Entertainment titles; manufacturing, localization, and distribution of collectible cards and hobby products, notably the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game and original trading card games such as Nibel Arena, as well as sports cards and capsule toys; publication and distribution of printed comic books (manhwa), graphic novels, light novels, digital webtoons, and web novels through affiliated publishing houses; and operation of character-themed retail stores, pop-up shops, and cultural complexes, including Aniland, Acorn Forest (Dongguri Forest), official Animate stores, San-X specialty shops, and the Popcon-D Square exhibition venue in Seoul. Daiwon Media operates through key subsidiaries and affiliates, including Daewon C.I. Inc. and Haksan Publishing Co., Ltd. for print and digital publishing, StoryJak Co., Ltd. and Studio Mujik Co., Ltd. for webtoon and digital IP creation, Daewon Creative Japan Co., Ltd. for international licensing and toy development in Japan, and EMP Co., Ltd. for motion-capture and 3D technical production. The company serves individual consumers, gamers, and pop-culture enthusiasts domestically in South Korea and across international markets including Japan, Greater China, North America, and Europe. In recent corporate and operational developments, Daiwon Media completed the full absorption and statutory merger of its broadcasting subsidiary, Daewon Broadcasting Co., Ltd., integrating its cable and satellite animation television networks, including AniOne, Champ TV, and AniBox, directly into parent company operations to optimize broadcast distribution synergies and streamline administrative structures. The company has expanded its global intellectual property footprint by launching the international reboot of its flagship live-action series Armored Saurus across North American, European, and Asian television and streaming platforms. In its trading card and retail divisions, Daiwon Media secured cross-border export agreements to distribute its proprietary trading card game Nibel Arena into Greater China, entered a nationwide retail distribution partnership to deploy Ichiban Kuji character lottery kiosks across GS25 convenience stores in South Korea, and established permanent brick-and-mortar flagship retail stores for San-X character brands, including Rilakkuma and Sumikkogurashi. Furthermore, the company continues to co-host and expand the annual Anime x Game Festival (AGF) in South Korea while increasing investments in digital comic content pipelines to supply global webtoon platforms.
