Kidult Platform Ddinggo Unveils Professional Artist Team 'Artist Crew'

Character and kidult platform ‘THINGGO’ announced the launch of a professional artist team called the ‘THINGGO Artist Crew.’

The THINGGO Artist Crew is a project team that discovers talented domestic artists in illustration, graffiti, art toys, and more, presenting unique products to consumers through various collaborative activities. They have selected four emerging artists who have recently been recognized for their outstanding skills in the art toy market: Noeheat, MG_man, Separang, and SweeBK, and have begun full-scale activities.

Hyunho Ha, CEO of Tingoland, which operates THINGGO, stated, “Until now, THINGGO has offered various products utilizing famous IPs, but there has been continuous demand and requests for unique IP products such as art toys that pursue rarity and personal value. Especially, while the creative abilities of domestic art toy artists are recognized worldwide, they have faced many restrictions in continuing their artistic activities domestically. However, recently, THINGGO has secured a channel to directly meet global fans and is on the verge of starting overseas sales, so we believe this is the perfect timing to promote growth for both THINGGO and the Artist Crew.”

Choi Horak, Chief Design Officer of Tingoland, said, “Since the early days of our founding, our goal has been to create a market environment where domestic creative artists can freely showcase their talents. Starting with this project, we plan to recruit hidden masters and outstanding artists in various fields such as illustration, graffiti, and other creative works, serving as a foothold for their overseas expansion.”

Meanwhile, the THINGGO Artist Crew members are currently participating in their first project jointly conducted by THINGGO, Clayvox, and the KAIST team, and are expected to showcase related physical art toys as early as June.
