FSN-Hand Studio Collaborates with Yeolhyeol Gangho NFT and Universe

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] FSN, a KOSDAQ-listed company, and its subsidiary Hand Studio announced on the 10th that they are collaborating their PFP NFT project 'Sunmiya Club' with the Yeolhyeol Gangho NFT 'Heukpunghoe' and expanding their NFT business into the gaming sector by connecting the universes of Sunmiya Club and Yeolhyeol Gangho.

Heukpunghoe is an NFT created using the representative Korean martial arts comic Yeolhyeol Gangho IP, with Dominus Games, a blockchain game specialist publisher, managing the business. Yeolhyeol Gangho has recorded 1 billion comic subscriptions over 28 years and has gained global popularity through MORPG and ARPG game adaptations. In the case of Heukpunghoe, various characters within the universe, not the main protagonists of Yeolhyeol Gangho, have been made into NFTs, attracting attention in the related market.

Through this collaboration, the NFT character 'Miya' from Sunmiya Club is set to appear in the Heukpunghoe universe. According to FSN and Hand Studio, Miya enters the Heukpunghoe universe through a dimensional gate that also appeared in the Sunmiya Club universe, marking the meeting of the two NFT universes.

FSN and Hand Studio are leading the NFT ecosystem in an innovative direction through their blockchain research institute 'Finger Labs.' Starting with Sunmiya Club, they have consecutively sold out PFP NFTs such as 'Happier Town' and 'Smile Miya Club.' This collaboration with Heukpunghoe’s universe is also expected to attract attention as a differentiated attempt from existing domestic NFTs. Additionally, Finger Labs plans to continue collaborating with Dominus Games in various ways, including introducing NFT blockchain games to Sunmiya Club.

Dominus Games is also set to gain momentum in its NFT business as it receives blockchain business know-how and technology from FSN and Hand Studio, who developed Sunmiya Club into a leading domestic NFT project. With the universe connection to Sunmiya Club, which has already grown into a representative domestic NFT project, the Heukpunghoe universe is expected to expand rapidly. They plan to join forces with FSN and Hand Studio to carry out various online and offline NFT projects in the future.

Lee Sangseok, Co-CEO of FSN, said, "The Sunmiya Club project is not just about simple releases; it recently unveiled a secondary universe, signaling the start of a full-fledged metaverse project. We plan to grow the IP of Miya across various metaverses through connections and new attempts with IPs like Yeolhyeol Gangho."

Jeon Myungjin, CEO of Dominus Games, said, "We are very pleased to introduce the Yeolhyeol Gangho NFT project to the solid community of Sunmiya Club, a leading Korean NFT project. We will do our best to expand the shared universe created by the two IPs, not just as a simple marketing partnership."
