AI-based content IP solution company Studio Metakey has selected Eugene Investment & Securities as its lead manager for its initial public offering (IPO) and has begun preparations for the listing.
Founded in 2022, Studio Metakey is an entertainment technology company that produces a variety of content, including dramas, films, animations, and media art, based on generative AI and virtual human technology. The company has applied AI technology to broadcast and video content, including Netflix's 'Monthly Boyfriend,' MBC's 'New Director Kim Yeon-kyung,' KBS's 'History Special,' and MBN's 'Divorced Singles 7.'
Recently, it has accelerated the enhancement of its AI content production technology and the expansion of its IP business. In July, it was selected as the lead organization for two projects under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency's '2026 Cultural and Sports Research and Development Project,' with a total project cost of 15.3 billion won over three years. The company plans to develop an integrated engine for AI-based broadcast video production and long-form video generation and editing solutions.
Studio Metakey is also pursuing a theatrical animation business utilizing proven original IPs, such as webtoons. The strategy involves applying its proprietary AI technology in the production process to enhance efficiency and strengthen the expansion of IP into video content.
Kim Kwang-jip, CEO of Studio Metakey, stated, “The IPO is a crucial turning point for us to become a leading company in the new industry that combines AI and content. We will work with Eugene Investment & Securities to ensure our technological capabilities and growth potential are properly recognized in the market.”
