Global K-Pop short form platform KITZ has announced its lineup for July.
The lineup includes a mobile adaptation of the film 'Gentleman: Whispers of Evil,' starring Kim Jaejoong, as well as variety content such as 'K-Pop Focus' and 'Dukjilantis,' and original animations 'Kyu Enter' and 'When the Magpie Comes,' all set to premiere this month.
'Gentleman: Whispers of Evil [Mobile]' is a short form series reimagining Kim Jaejoong's occult horror film. The story follows three college students who disappear after visiting an abandoned shrine in Kobe, Japan, prompting a shaman named Myung-jin to investigate and confront strange spirits.
KITZ has restructured the feature film into a series designed for mobile viewing, offering a different rhythm and viewing experience from the original. 'Gentleman: Whispers of Evil Mobile' will be released on July 23 at 5 PM.
The original animation 'Kyu Enter' is a comedic sitcom depicting the daily lives of underdog idol trainees dreaming of success. It humorously portrays the struggles of trainees preparing for their debut in a shabby rooftop room.
The characters in 'Kyu Enter' were designed by artist HOZO, known for developing early Kakao Friends characters. The series was previously serialized as a webtoon on KakaoPage and KakaoWebtoon in 2024. The animation will also feature interactive elements such as AI chat with characters, fortune-telling content, and social media feed functions, enhancing the viewing experience. 'Kyu Enter' will premiere on July 15 at 5 PM.
KITZ has also prepared a K-Pop variety lineup. 'K-Pop Focus' is an insight show featuring choreographer Bae Yoon-jung and boy group member Jae-jun from InnoMinute. The show analyzes the evolution of K-Pop dance, covering key choreography, synchronized performances, and TikTok challenges. Viewers can enjoy it in short form on KITZ and in horizontal format on the K-Pop variety YouTube channel 'KIRIZ.'
'Dukjilantis' is a global fandom talk show hosted by Jae-jun from InnoMinute. Fans from Korea, Japan, Turkey, and other countries gather to share their experiences with merchandise consumption and fandom community culture. The show highlights different fandom cultures and the common language of fandom. 'Dukjilantis' will also be available in short form on KITZ and in horizontal format on 'KIRIZ.'
An original animation titled 'When the Magpie Comes,' based on the popular BL webtoon by writer Yoo-ppo, will also be released. The story revolves around a romance fantasy of gratitude and revenge surrounding a man's heart. The narrative follows Do-han, a popular web novelist, who lives a peaceful life as the guardian of a magpie spirit, until a snake demon named Sabin, harboring an old grudge, appears in human form. The series consists of 40 episodes and will be fully released on July 16 at 5 PM.
Previously, KITZ has showcased various short form content, including 'Wind Up,' 'Jump Boy LIVE,' 'Kill the Romeo,' and 'After School Exorcism Club.' Recently, the feature films 'Wind Up: The Movie' and 'After School Exorcism Club: Girls' Night' were exclusively released in CGV theaters and invited to the 30th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.
Looking ahead, KITZ plans to release multi-format content in the second half of the year, including 'Love Wi-Fi Palace' and 'The Grim Reaper's Life Extension Project.'
