SAMG Entertainment's 'Metal Card Bot S' to Premiere on EBS on the 26th
SAMG Entertainment (CEO Kim Suhoon, hereinafter SAMG Entertainment) announced on the 21st that the second season of its IP 'Metal Card Bot,' titled 'Metal Card Bot S,' will premiere on EBS on the 26th.
'Metal Card Bot S' is the sequel to 'Metal Card Bot Season 1,' which ranked first among popular programs during the same period after its broadcast last year. The story follows 'Crest,' who returns to Moutown and brings a stone tablet from the 'Porkaka Ruins.' When the protagonist 'Jun' touches the tablet, the Metal Brace reacts, plunging him into a new incident.
In 'Metal Card Bot S,' the mysterious girl 'Peruru,' who chases after the stone tablet, appears. The protagonist 'Jun' obtains a new Metal Brace, and the more powerful Blue Cop S and new Metal Card Bots, each harboring their own secrets, emerge to enrich the overall story.
SAMG Entertainment first released 'Metal Card Bot Season 1' domestically in March last year, achieving a top domestic viewership rating of over 3%, and quickly ranked among the top 3 boys' programs in Korea.
Furthermore, in November of the same year, it immediately entered the Chinese market and ranked first in real-time content. SAMG Entertainment secured over 1 billion KRW in license-related sales of Metal Card Bot in China during the first half of this year, a figure comparable to the local license sales of 'Catch! Teenieping' during the same period, demonstrating the popularity of boys' content in the Chinese market.
In particular, SAMG Entertainment explained that 'Metal Card Bot S' reflects viewers' opinions and various feedback from toy consumers from season 1, aiming to achieve higher success by composing storylines and toy planning tailored to consumer needs.
