[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] KT is producing episodes of the popular webtoon 'Sometoon' into an original web drama and providing it through online video services (OTT) and subscription services.

On the 8th at 2 PM, KT held an online production press conference and announced that it would reveal the teaser video for Sometoon 2020 for the first time through the OTT platform 'Season' and the immersive media service 'Super VR (Virtual Reality)'.

Sometoon has been serialized with a total of about 600 episodes on KT's webtoon platform 'Ktoon' for approximately six years since October 2013. Sometoon 2020 is a romance web drama adapted based on the story of the popular idol group 'Oh My Girl' and will be available from the 16th every Tuesday and Wednesday at 11 AM on the Season app and Super VR's 'Sometoon x Oh My Girl Hall'. Targeting viewers in their teens and twenties, it will be presented in a 'short-form' format with episodes around 10 minutes each.

KT plans to expand its content value chain by collaborating with talented domestic production companies to create various content such as web dramas and movies based on its original intellectual property (IP) like Sometoon, and presenting them to customers.

Kim Hoon-bae, Executive Vice President and Head of KT's Customer Business Division, said, "Sometoon 2020 is content that combines a proven storyline based on a popular webtoon with hit elements such as idols, short-form, and viewer participation. We will continue to strengthen the acquisition of original IP and actively cooperate with excellent domestic production companies to present fresh and diverse original content."
