Chairman Song plans to actively strengthen competitiveness as a global comprehensive content company through partnerships among affiliates.


According to Com2uS on the 13th, Chairman Song established a direct organization under the Wizwick board called the "Global Content Strategy Committee (tentative name)" and will directly oversee the global content strategy for the entire group, including both companies, as well as investments and mergers & acquisitions (M&A) of new companies.

With the addition of Wizwick, the capabilities of various affiliates have been internalized, gaining momentum in metaverse and transmedia businesses.


The two CEOs of Wizwick will continue to expand technology and business at the forefront of Wizwick’s management while concurrently holding key executive positions at Com2uS, thereby enhancing the cohesion of the cooperative system between the two companies.


Park Kwan-woo, a first-generation figure in Korea’s CG field, will serve as Com2uS’s Chief Metaverse Officer (CMVO), leading technological collaboration in the metaverse sector, while Park In-gyu will contribute to IP exchange and content expansion strategies as Chief Content Strategy Officer (CCSO).
