¡ã ALM Media / CEO Gahye Bae

(PowerKorea) With billions of smartphone users in the world, webnovels and webtoons are growing fast in the web contents market. This partly ascribes to social distancing and restriction to using commercial buildings due to the pandemic which resulted in the market expanding its scope to soap opera, movie, animation and advertisement. South Korean webtoons are holding a strong position in the global web contents market and firms big or small are riding this fast moving rollercoaster to take a better seat with creative ideas, storylines and visuals. In this respect, South Korean ALM Media is worth an attention for its all-in-one capability covering from creator hunting and planning to producing and distribution. 

Delivering stories of all genres in the world
ALM Media was established November 2020 with webtoons and webnovels as the growth engine. Though a relatively newcomer, the company boasts excellent web contents creation capability that effectively connects creators to producers. Gahye Bae, CEO of All Master Media, is a webtoon creator and has years of experience in the field. Unlike many web contents providers which mainly focus on profitable genres, Bae challenged to embrace as many genres as possible from webtoon and webnovel to soap opera, romance and comic book to answer demands of various consumer groups in the market. To make communication and trust smooth and nice between producers and creators, Bae introduced an operation system that a producer manages up to 5 creators only. Training and discussion is also used to create joint works. With these systems as springboard, ALM Media produces and distributes new works through domestic web contents platforms while preparing to enter overseas market from late this year.

Win-win management
There are numerous web contents platforms in South Korea and the number of creators are increasing every year. Like almost all industries, web contents industry also prioritizes profits and outcomes. It means more and more talented creators give up in the middle of their career. Knowing this more than anyone ALM Media runs various creator support and protection policies for both producers and creators to grow together in win-win management. The company provides contents experience, training and materials and contracts are made more in creator’s advantage based on the standard provided by the Korean Artists Welfare Foundation. Statements are sent to creators monthly and proven works can lead to secondary productions through its networks. Real time on-screen meeting is also taken place between producers and creators as the pandemic limits physical meetings. 

Releasing 7 works within the year
Healing fantasy Mustache & Suspender global launching
Contents variation, convergence and planning to maximize synergy

ALM Media has completed 4 of house works, 1 joint work and is to obtain copyrights of 2 outside works to release in the domestic market in orderly manner in the domestic market: A Beginner's MMORPG Cartoon – Wujuri Over Mountain – Shards of a Story within the first half of the year; Decided To Remove Prince – Water Drop of Desert and Meadow (webnovel/webtoon) – Mustache & Suspender in the latter half of the year. Bae says that Mustache & Suspender writer PIPO has a strong presence overseas and the two middle aged characters in a UK-like country finding and recording mysterious living things will captivate fans overseas as a healing fantasy. Meanwhile, Pieces of Stories, a collection bizarre stories and episodes, will launch overseas market. ALM Media is to use the most of its highly experienced translator’s pool to distribute works in North America, Europe and Japan. “As a webnovel and webtoon production, we will variate, converge and plan our works in various genres in order to create synergy alongside finding talented creators” says Bae.
