[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyungsoo] Chorokbaem Media is participating as a partner company in the metaverse-based ‘Genome Project’.

Chorokbaem Media announced on the 28th that it will invest in securing IPs such as webtoons, web novels, and figures, following the establishment of a media content alliance.

While expanding its business areas from the existing media content sector to NFT and e-commerce, it is expected that the new media business will gain momentum through participation in the Genome Project.

The project aims to implement metaverse-based health management and precision medical systems with a focus on practical applications of the system.

The measurement, collection, analysis, and integration of genome and clinical information to build the bioinformatics-based big data will be carried out by InVite BioCore, Clinomics, Crystal Genomics, and ProCagen. Comprehensive health management and precision medical consultations based on the metaverse platform will be handled by Chorokbaem Media, InVite Healthcare, Seoul National University Hospital, Vident, InBioGen, 3D Factory, and CJ OliveNetworks.
