Pepper and Salt plans to begin its global expansion of K-characters in earnest, starting with entry into the Japanese market in October 2025.

In addition, alongside fostering character IP based on social media, the company plans to launch an AI-based creator platform in the second half of 2026 to secure differentiated competitiveness in the global IP market.
