Webtoon 'Yumi's Cells' Reborn as AR Content

LG Uplus-Dexter Studio to Launch Yumi's Cells AR Content on U+AR App from the 12th

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Naver Webtoon’s popular series "Yumi's Cells" is being reborn as AR content. Popular characters such as Chulchuli Cells, a webtoon character, will appear in 3D in everyday life.

On the 12th, LG Uplus announced that it will partner with Dexter Studio to provide Naver Webtoon’s "Yumi's Cells" (written and illustrated by Lee Dong-geon) as AR content on the U+AR app.

'Yumi's Cells' AR features a total of five short-form types, with representative popular cell characters from the webtoon such as ‘Chulchuli Cells’, ‘Eungkeum Cells’, and ‘Fashion Cells’ appearing in 3D in everyday spaces. The unique witty and lively story of Yumi's Cells is realized to fit the AR platform. LG Uplus 5G subscribers can use the U+AR app for free.

The webtoon Yumi and her cells have been continuously serialized on Naver Webtoon since 2015, depicting the protagonist Yumi’s emotions and internal activities personified as cells, securing a loyal fan base.

Dexter Studio is also producing ‘Yumi's Cells’ as a social VR toon, scheduled to be released within the year. Multiple users can connect simultaneously and become cells together to create Yumi’s story collaboratively. The 3D cell characters first revealed through AR content will also be available in the upcoming VR content. Dexter Studio has produced various genre VR contents such as White Rabbit, Save Me, From the Earth, Joe’s Territory, and Along with the Gods VR - Escape from Hell.

U+AR is a service that allows users to view live-action based star and character content in 360 degrees, take photos with the content, or share videos. Since launching the U+AR service in April last year, LG Uplus has provided over 1,700 AR contents including stars/idols, home training, and 3D characters.
