  • Media/Entertainment Rise of Webtoons Presents Opportunities in Content Providers
    Media/Entertainment Rise of webtoons presents opportunities in content providers The rise of webtoons Overweight (Maintain) Webtoons are emerging as a profitable new content format, just as video and music streaming services have in the past. In 2015, webtoons were successfull y monetized in Korea and Japan by NAVER (035420 KS/Buy/TP: W241,000/CP: W166,500) and Kakao Industry Report (035720 KS/Buy/TP: W243,000/CP: W158,000). In late 2018, webtoon user number s April 9, 2020 began to grow in the US and Southeast Asia, following global monetization. This year, NAVER Webtoon’s entry into Europe, combined with growing content consumption due to COVID-19 and the success of several webtoon-based dramas, has led to increasing opportunities for Korean webtoon companies. Based on Google Trends Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. data, interest in webtoons is hitting all-time highs across major regions.

We believe average revenue per paying user (ARPPU), which is currently around W3,000, can rise to over W10,000 (similar to that of music and video streaming services) upon full monetization.

  • Kakaopage Sees Transaction Volume Surpassing W500bn in 2020
    [Korea ] Internet Kakao (035720 KS ) KakaoPage sees transaction volume surpassing W500bn in 2020 Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] Chang-kwean Kim [email protected] Kakao presented key indicators and its future vision for the webtoon business (KakaoPage and Piccoma) at IPO EXPO 2020. KakaoPage set its 2020 transaction volume target at over W500bn, far above our original expectation (W340.3bn). Maintain Buy and TP of W370,000: We expect Kakao’s webtoon business to gain increasing attention as a next-generation platform, alongside Webtoon Entertainment. 2020 transaction volume target set at over W500bn; aiming to become a global IP machine - KakaoPage (CEO Lee Jin-soo) presented a 2020 transaction volume target of over W500bn (+56.3%). - Given that roughly 40% of intellectual properties (IPs) available on Piccoma are owned by KakaoPage, we believe the W500bn target partially includes Piccoma’s transaction volume. - Still, we view the announcement as meaningful, as it presents a target well above our expectations (W340.3bn for KakaoPage and W234bn for Piccoma). - KakaoPage, which was the first in the industry to successfully monetize webtoons through its “pay or wait” model, has been strengthening its roles as both a content platform and IP holder (currently owning more than 7,000 original IP titles through investments in authors and content providers). - Meanwhile, Piccoma has successfully monetized its platform while also demonstrating the far-reaching power of “K-stories” (Korean webtoons/web novels). Of note, K-stories account for almost 40% of Piccoma’s transaction volume (but less than 5% of Piccoma’s titles).

  • Kakao to Merge with Kakao M to Separate Platform and Content
    Kakao (035720 KS /Trading Buy ) Kakao to merge with Kakao M to separate platform Internet and content Kakao announced plans to merge with Kakao M (formerly LOEN Entertainment ) at a 1:0.8 Issue Comment ratio on September 1 st May 18, 2018 Combination of Kakao and Melon to strengthen AI business and boost Melon’s paid subscribers Kakao M’s music/video production business to be spun off; Content production business Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. to be enhanced [ Internet/Game/Advertising ] Jee -hyun Moon 1. Separation of platform and content to enhance specialization +822 -3774 -1640 [email protected] Yesterday, Kakao announced plans to merge with its subsidiary Kakao M (016170 KQ/CP: W93,200). Acquired by Kakao in March 2016, Kakao M reorganized its Melon platform, music content, and video content businesses into a company-in-company (CIC) structure in October 2017 and officially changed its name from LOEN Entertainment to Kakao M in st March 2018. On September 1 , the Melon platform business will merge with Kakao. We believe the separation of platform and content production will enhance the specialization of each business. 1) Platform operation: Kakao’s integration of the Melon platform has already been underway. In March 2018, the “Melon with Kakao” function, which allows users to directly access Melon’s music streaming service on the KakaoTalk app, was renamed “Kakao Melon.” Kakao Friends characters have also been incorporated into Melon. Looking ahead, Kakao and Kakao M are likely to combine their user info and share data. We could potentially see a rise in Kakao M’s paid subscribers.
