Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates as the digital media subsidiary of Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), one of South Korea's principal terrestrial television and radio networks. The company provides a comprehensive range of digital media products and services, which include: digital video-on-demand (VOD) and audio-on-demand (AOD) streaming services covering terrestrial dramas, variety shows, news, documentaries, and live sports broadcasts; official web portal and mobile application operations through imbc.com and associated mobile platforms; domestic and international content licensing and syndication to third-party over-the-top (OTT) platforms, IPTV networks, telecom operators, and global video platforms; digital advertising and performance marketing solutions, including in-stream video advertisements, programmatic display ads, and branded content integration; e-commerce operations facilitating the merchandising and sale of broadcast-related intellectual property (IP) products, original soundtracks, and character goods; and enterprise digital solutions, such as content management system (CMS) integration, web agency services, and digital platform development.
