New launches & services for 2022

Makestar overseas fans receive various artists’ products and services and participate in unique events that transcend physical distance, such as ‘Youngtong Fans, ”Meet & Call,’ and showcases, which are receiving a great response. Recently, popular K-pop artists such as singers Black Pink, Red Velvet, and Stray Kids and popular drama OST-related events such as SBS ‘Meet the Guy’ and KBS2’s ‘Crazy Love’ led global fans to participate on the platform. In addition, Young-woong Lim and Dong- won Jeong took the lead in globalizing ‘K-Trot,’ drawing attention as a project regardless of genre.

Makestar announced, “In the first half of the year, we will launch new businesses such as alternative albums and subscription services, and grow into a global entertainment-tech company contributing to the spread of K-Pop and Hallyu.” Meanwhile, Makestar attracted 20 billion won ($15.6 million) in investment from Altos Ventures and Korea Development Bank last year and was recently selected as the 7th innovation icon.
