Sunmoon University announced on August 6 that it will enter the global content market after receiving an official invitation from DND Line, a special effects company, and Versatile Media, a leading Chinese virtual production company.

DND Line was the only Korean company invited to the opening ceremony of Versatile Media's AI Virtual Studio, which was held in Deqing, Zhejiang Province, China, on July 14.

Sunmoon University and DND Line signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in June and are collaborating on establishing a joint research institute and nurturing talent to foster the K-media content industry in the Chungnam region. Starting this year, they plan to accelerate research on immersive content production technology.
