Did you find this while you were going down the rabbit holes?
I found the last paragraph interesting: Kakao M Corp. has unrivaled content production capabilities in mobile, TV, screen and live platforms having 7 leading talent management subsidiaries, 4 music labels and diverse drama, film, performance production companies. Kakao M Corp. has significant market share in Korea's music industry and annually produces over 1,200 titles. In addition, the company has 80 top creators, 150 celebrities as well as host of star producers within its talent portfolio. Kakao M also operates an in-house studio where Korea's most wanted producers were recruited to create and operate a novel genre of experimental and witty mobile contents.
I watch a lot of Chinese drama and Korean drama and, particularly with the Chinese drama a lot of their shows are taken from web novels and cartoons. As this looks to have production abilities all over the place one would be inclined to think that writing contracts would contain clauses regarding selling or optioning to companies other than Kakao. Not a bad thing, but not a good thing if an opportunity comes your way.
I'm wondering if this is there way to get more content under their control
I should invest in a popcorn company
