[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Com2uS has partnered with Kyobo Book Centre to collaborate on metaverse business.

Com2uS and WYSIWYG Studios announced on the 25th that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for metaverse business cooperation with Kyobo Book Centre.

Com2uS, along with its subsidiary WYSIWYG Studios and partners, is developing the metaverse platform "Com2Verse," which offers virtual offices, shopping, financial and medical services, and entertainment.

Kyobo Book Centre is strengthening its content business based on publishing content, including the web novel platform "Toksoda" and story contests. Recently, it received 150 billion KRW in funding from Kyobo Life Insurance to promote digital transformation.

Through this MOU, a virtual Kyobo Book Centre shopping mall will be established within Com2Verse, showcasing various books and stationery products that can also be experienced at actual offline stores. The plan is to promote excellent Korean books and comics to users worldwide through Com2Verse, contributing to enhancing the status of K-content.

Based on this agreement, Com2uS plans to actively consider sharing the original intellectual property (IP) held by the three companies and producing transmedia content based on it. By combining Kyobo Book Centre's diverse content IP with Com2uS and WYSIWYG Studios' game and video production technologies, they expect to create various new content.

A Com2uS representative said, "We will establish cooperative systems with leading companies in various fields to provide diverse real-world services and content within the Com2Verse platform in the future."
