The newly released Burnout Island is an urban fantasy work that depicts the young generation exhausted from constantly running, through animation.

NameX described the work as a story about the gifts received from unexpected encounters in a vacuum state by those who paused everything to find even a little meaning in their path.

The story portrays people invited to the fantasy island "Burnout Island," which appears like a mirage in the Seoul sky.

NameX directly directed and presented the world-building of Burnout Island along with a full 3D teaser video. The production involved lead artists in art and technical fields from the domestic theatrical animation Red Shoes, who participated respectively as art director, CG supervisor, and technical director.

Additionally, the band Jaurim participated in the teaser animation’s theme song, adding depth to the atmosphere and empathy of the story. For the video, Jaurim provided a remix of the track "Icarus" from their 9th studio album.

Last December, NameX’s teaser animation for Doctor B.Pang, released on their own YouTube channel, surpassed 5 million views and gained 100,000 subscribers within four months of launch. The content, targeting the tastes and interests of the MZ generation, has received positive responses from global fans interested in K-POP and K-FOOD.

A representative from NameX stated, “We plan to accelerate the production of OTT series and main episodes through content such as shorts clips and secondary teasers on the YouTube channel for both Burnout Island and Doctor B.Pang IPs,” adding, “Please look forward to a new challenge in Korean animation.”
