“Halal Restaurant Week Korea 2020” is coming online: KTO presenting “Halal TV” videos for Muslim tourists who miss Korea

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 8, 2020 — Korea Tourism Organization ("KTO", led by President Ahn Young-bae) will broadcast "Halal TV" for about two months from Sep. 14 to Nov. 16 on its YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/WOWKOREASUPPORTERS) to promote the beauty of Korean tourism for potential Muslim tourists although overseas travel is limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

KTO’s "Survey on Muslim Tourists’ Travel to Korea" revealed that many Muslims find the lack of Halal restaurants inconvenient during their visit to Korea. Accordingly, the tourism organization has hosted an annual event called "Halal Restaurant Week Korea" for the past few years to address this issue. The main point of the event is to provide reliable information about Muslim-friendly restaurants serving Halal foods and special offers, including discount coupons.

This year, however, KTO carries out an online promotion for the event as it has become difficult for Muslim tourists to physically visit Korea due to the global pandemic. It plans to post new Halal-themed videos on its YouTube channel. The first video is titled "Halal K-Food Cooking Studio," showing Halal-safe Korean food recipes that are also easy to follow. Hosted by Chef Choi Gwang-ho (winner of MasterChef Korea Season 3), it features easy recipes for some of popular Korean dishes, such as Bibimbap, Tteokbokki, and K-Ramyeon (noodles), using ingredients easily found outside Korea.

In the second video called "Halal Restaurant Tasty Party," Muslim expats in Korea will share their views on some of well-known Halal restaurants across Seoul. It will be hosted by Zahid Hussain, who used to be on a popular Korean show called "Non-summit TV Talk Show". The panels will introduce some of the restaurants participating in the Halal Restaurant Week Korea event and promote a variety of Halal foods, ranging from traditional ones such as Shakshouka and Kebab to fusion dishes such as Halal Bulgogi.

A total of 10 videos will be uploaded every Monday from Sep. 14 to Nov. 16 on KTO’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/WOWKOREASUPPORTERS). In particular, an online promotional event will be organized, where viewers will get a chance to win gift cards when they post the photos or videos of making the dishes introduced on Halal TV’s first video ("Halal K-Food Cooking Studio") on their social network accounts and leave the link in the comments, or write comments about the video.

SEOUNGNAM, South Korea, Sept. 3, 2020 — Doit5 (CEOs Kihoon Lee, Hansoon Park), a company in the ICT Culture Convergence Center operated by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency, has revealed that they have launched an advertising service that uses content with web based AR technology.

Doit5 is a startup that specializes in HTML5 based game-type ad content, and it is characterized by its use of the self-developed BXG engine and over 180 types of planned templates to quickly produce games, and by its high efficiency of their ads.

The recently launched service utilizes HTML5 based game references and web AR content produced by Doit5, so the user is able to enjoy the content without having obstacles in the way of device or OS incompatibility, and can actively interact by linking up their messengers and SNS.

From the advertiser’s perspective, it enables ads that are both dynamic and capable of mobile response, and is also more effective compared to existing ad campaigns. This is because the interactive interface raises brand favorability, and raises participation through achievements and sharing. The message the advertiser wants to get to the users goes beyond being a simple game, and the storytelling relays the message more effectively.

Organized by Media Partners Asia, APOS is Asia’s leading conference for the content industry, including the media, telecoms, and entertainment sectors. It brings together industry leaders from all over the region to share the latest industry trends and insights. KakaoPage CEO Lee Jinsoo was invited to speak at the conference for two years in a row, adding to his reputation as a leader in the global story entertainment industry. The conference pivoted online this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Disney, Google, Discovery, NHK, Sony Pictures, Amazon Prime and others joined the conference alongside KakaoPage.

The September series of APOS 2020 was held online over three days starting September 1. In a session held on September 3, KakaoPage CEO Lee Jinsoo took part in an in-depth discussion with Vivek Couto, a founder of the conference organizer, Media Partners Asia, on the topic of "Innovating Story Entertainment."

He also revealed that Piccoma, the Kakao Corp. subsidiary which services KakaoPage IPs in Japan, was ranked the No. 1 comic app in terms of both traffic and revenues in the Japanese market for the first time last month.

The annual GMV in these two countries alone is on track to soon surpass one trillion Korean Won.

Lee also unveiled KakaoPage’s next corporate vision as a global story entertainment company. It will utilize the Korean and Japanese markets as springboards to provide a global distribution platform for the world’s top storytellers to monetize their original stories. By securing hundreds of original stories proven on its global platform with adaptation potential into global movies, dramas and games, KakaoPage aims to become the most influential partner for global media entertainment companies and game developers.

To realize this vision, KakaoPage will continue to invest aggressively in order to expand its platform network beyond Korea and Japan into the U.S., China, and Southeast Asia by 2022. 

KakaoPage CEO Lee related, "I take great pride in the fact that KakaoPage globally pioneered the ‘Wait-or-Pay’ business model that has been the main driver of the explosive growth of the story entertainment market in Korea and Japan. I believe the next global blockbuster IPs such as the next Harry Potter or One Piece will originate from our webtoon platform and will gather global fandoms at an unprecedented pace and scale. Through this process, we can generate endless business opportunities with global media & entertainment partners. This is KakaoPage’s next vision for innovating story entertainment."
