VISION AND VALUE
The character licensing industry, which is attracting attention as a fast-growing, high value-added industry, began to emerge in Korea since the 2000s. It was thought that cute or unique characters would quickly gain popularity and lead to manufacturing of dolls and stickers, which creates lucrative business, but a lack of preparedness for various types of business based on such characters brought a trend of gradual decline following short-term popularity.
However, the global market has continued to grow by thoroughly preparing attractive designs, stories which go well with such designs and character businesses, which showed infinite potentials of the character industry. Accordingly, in the Korean market, collaborations with other industries or new contents began to be developed, followed by continuous changes, for the maintenance of characters and their vitality.
For example, issuance of Kakao Bank’s check card, which was released in Korea in July 2017, recorded 763,902 within four days after its release. It recorded 5,575,408 (cumulative) in September 2018, 9,613,302 (cumulative) in September 2019, and 11,496,935 (cumulative) in March 2020, showing a steady increasing trend. The reason characters were used in card design was to give customers intimacy, and it gained tremendous popularity by stimulating their desire to own a character card. As a result, it took more than two weeks to receive a card due to an exploding increase in the number of applications for card issuance. Since it was essential to issue an account for customers to own a card with a character engraved on it, the use of psychology led to an influx of customers.
As another example, Nintendo Switch released a new game, ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’, in March 2020 under Animal Crossing IP. About 26 million units (cumulative) have been sold, which is close to 29 million, the record of the bestselling ‘Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’. Because it is an exclusive IP game of Nintendo Switch, sales of Nintendo Switch also surged due to Animal Crossing, recording an 81% increase compared to that of the previous year. In addition to game consoles and titles, additional products such as amiibo cards are gaining exploding popularity, and as a result, they were sold on extra premium to due to shortage, and Nintendo recorded about KRW 8.3385 trillion in sales and KRW 3.1576 trillion in operating profit by September 2020, which represents an increase of 73% and 209%, respectively, compared to those of the previous year. This shows the case of a boom which resulted from characters and exclusive IP business despite COVID-19.
BLACK HOLE-MAN
The character ‘Black Hole-man’, which was created during collaboration marketing with LG Telecom (currently LG U+) in the 2000s, is on the way back to the market.

ALLOCATION
Khai will use the Ethereum network before it is issued based on ERC20 and its own main-net is maintained. Khai has no mining activity and therefore there is no further issuance other than 2,000,000,000 Khai initially issued. The main-net will be maintained as Khai's functions in distribution and trading are stabilized in the future, and it will be maintained in the way of swap or other ways on existing ERC20-based Khai holders. With the progress of the main-net, a genesis block of Khai tokens will be created, and a fixed quantity of Khai tokens based on DAG will be created.
