Bang Jun-hyuk, chairman of Netmarble and Coway, stated that he aims to make this year a year of re-emergence by rapidly developing new projects for growth. He also emphasized accelerating the innovation strategy 'New Coway' (NEW COWAY), which Netmarble declared after acquiring Coway, to sustain growth.
During a New Year's ceremony held on the 2nd for executives of Netmarble and Coway, Bang noted, 'After Netmarble acquired Coway in 2020, we achieved meaningful results through attempts such as innovative product development, new business expansion, and strengthening global market competitiveness as part of the New Coway strategy.' He urged, 'This year, please accelerate this trend and direction to continue the growth momentum.'
At the Netmarble New Year's ceremony, the keyword for this year was identified as 're-emergence.' Bang stated, 'Although we had successes last year with titles like “Leveling Up by Myself: ARISE” and “RAY 2,” I still believe we are lacking.' He encouraged, 'Let’s clarify the essence and direction of our new projects, develop them rapidly, and ensure that users can enjoy competitive content in a timely manner to achieve a sense of accomplishment.'
He added, 'The year 2025, the Year of the Wood Serpent, symbolizes wisdom, insight, and growth.' He urged all leaders from both Netmarble and Coway to break away from complacency and adapt flexibly, achieving growth through our unique strengths.
