About Studio Meta-K

Studio Meta-K is a South Korean startup, founded in 2022 by CEO Kim Kwang-jib, that specializes in artificial intelligence-based content creation and intellectual property (IP) production. The company operates as a comprehensive studio, integrating generative AI technology into the production of dramas, films, commercials, and music videos to enhance production efficiency and creativity. Studio Meta-K aims to address the rising production costs in the drama industry by providing high-quality visuals that are often indistinguishable from live-action footage.

The company's business model includes content production, IP development, global distribution, and the creation and management of virtual humans. It has formed partnerships with various entities, including production companies like BA Entertainment, webtoon company Nuon Media, and VFX studio Studio Lennon. In February 2024, Studio Meta-K signed an MOU with Vietnamese VFX company Synapse Studio to collaborate on virtual humans and AI-based content. The company also has offices in Seoul, South Korea, and San Jose, California.

Studio Meta-K has secured significant funding to advance its technological development and global expansion. It attracted a Series A investment totaling 3 billion won, which included 2 billion won from Korea Investment Partners and 1 billion won from Timeworks Investment. The company has been recognized for its technological capabilities and selected for several government and corporate support programs, including the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' TIPS program and NVIDIA's Inception Program.
