Kakao Entertainment noted on the 23rd that it will launch the first collaboration goods of 'Jjonnami,' a character with 140,000 Instagram followers, in collaboration with the professional baseball team Samsung Lions on the 25th, while the webtoon 'Conquering the Earth! Jjonnami' is currently being serialized.
The webtoon 'Conquering the Earth! Jjonnami' tells the story of the cat agent Jjonnami, dispatched to Earth to prevent the impending doom facing the faraway planet 'Goyoungbyeol.' Since April, it has been serialized on Kakao Webtoon and Kakao Page, and it was planned as a spin-off different from existing Instagram cartoons. The cute and quirky daily life of the talking alien cat Jjonnami and the Earthling Sohee elicits laughter and has received much love.
Kakao Entertainment is actively developing collaboration projects such as emoticons and goods following the webtoon 'Conquering the Earth! Jjonnami,' creating continuous synergy with the webtoon. The KakaoTalk Jjonnami and Samsung Lions collaboration emoticons, released on the 5th, also proved to be a hit by recording the number one spot in daily overall sales and search rankings within just one day.
In particular, the collaboration between Jjonnami and Samsung Lions, announced alongside the webtoon launch, garnered high expectations from fans even before its release. Finally revealed, the first collaboration goods consist of five types, including stuffed animals, headbands, smart sticks, and keyrings, featuring the adorable appearance of Jjonnami in the representative blue team uniform. These goods will be pre-sold through KakaoTalk's gift feature starting on the 25th, in collaboration with Taija Co., Ltd. Starting July 1, they will also be available for purchase at the Samsung Lions team's online and offline store.
