Galaxyco Becomes ₩1 Trillion Unicorn with ₩100 Billion Investment

Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon's agency and an innovative AI ent-tech company, has proudly joined the ranks of unicorn companies after being recognized with a corporate value of 1 trillion won. The company recently completed a successful pre-IPO round worth 100 billion won, with participation from leading domestic institutions such as Korea Investment & Securities, Shinhan Venture Investment, and Nvestor, and foreign investors like Taiwan's ADATA and Hong Kong's Starplus Legend Holdings also provided support through common stock investments. Galaxy Corporation, which started with a capital of 1 million won in 2019, has achieved remarkable growth, attracting cumulative investments of 180 billion won to date. Notably, its corporate value, which was around 500 billion won in 2023, met a powerful catalyst in the recruitment of global artist G-DRAGON, causing it to double to 1 trillion won overnight, attracting significant attention from the industry. Galaxy Corporation operates a unique business model that converges AI technology and entertainment, developing four core businesses: media, IP, commerce, and tech. It is leading technological innovation by establishing an ent-tech research institute in cooperation with KAIST, and has demonstrated its capabilities by participating in the production of major hit content such as KBS '2 Days & 1 Night', TV Chosun 'Mr. Trot 2', and Netflix 'Physical: 100 Season 2 – Underground'. The substantial investment secured this time will serve as a stepping stone for the continuous advancement of its AI-based ent-tech platform as well as for aggressive expansion into the global market. With the goal of an IPO next year, the company plans to further solidify its status as a unicorn company leading the global market through the combination of K-entertainment and AI technology.
