[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Namgung Hoon, CEO of Kakao Games, revealed plans to "try new initiatives together with the Kakao community starting this year."

In his New Year's message on the 4th, CEO Namgung stated, "We have successfully grown from starting the channel business to publishing and development by 2020," adding, "We plan to continue expanding as a developer into the global market in each business area and further enhance our market competitiveness with a diverse lineup."

He continued, "This year, we hope to lead the way together with the Kakao community by having Kakao Games' own distinctiveness and moving forward with 'games and beyond game'." Kakao Games has set a goal to successfully expand not only its game business but also as a developer this year.

CEO Namgung emphasized, "If our game industry has grown over the past 20 years due to external forces such as the spread of smartphones and the internet, now is the time to seek new opportunities by connecting with the world beyond games based on the growth foundation."

He added, "Kakao Games has already established LifeMMO with Kakao Mobility and AdPage with Kakao Page," and said, "It will expand through collaboration with the Kakao community in gaming. This is the 'beyond game' strategy we need to pursue."
