Tving Sends CFO to Wavve... Begins Merger Preparations

KT Studio Genie's Position Remains a Variable

Tving has dispatched a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to Wavve, marking the beginning of merger preparations between the two companies.

CJ ENM announced on the 16th that it has sent Lee Yang-gi, former Tving CFO, to Wavve. With the merger between the two companies planned, this move appears to be a strategy for Tving to strengthen its financial influence over Wavve and secure merger synergies.

A Tving official stated, "After the strategic joint investment between CJ ENM and SK Square, we have dispatched a CFO to Wavve," adding, "We plan to explore various synergy measures between the two companies going forward."

Although there were industry reactions suggesting that the merger, publicly pursued by both companies since the end of last year, had stalled as the new year began, expectations have risen following a 250 billion KRW investment by SK Square and CJ ENM for business integration.

However, KT Studio Genie, which holds about 13% of Tving's shares, has yet to announce its position, which could become a variable factor.
