History

Imaginus was established on December 15, 2021 by Choi Jin-hee, former CEO of Studio Dragon, following her departure from her position in CJ ENM in November.[1] Initially capitalized at ₩10 million,[2] Imaginus attracted investment of ₩50 billion from J&Private Equity (J&PE) on December 8. According to an industry official, J&PE's investment in Imaginus was made at a corporate value of around ₩200 billion. It is said that the follow-up investment aims to increase the corporate value to ₩1 trillion.[3][4]

In August 2022, Choi, representing Imaginus, was recognized as one of "Korea's 100 female startup leaders" by Hankyung Geeks and Startup Alliance. The selection was based on factors such as cumulative investment amount, experience, and industry. The list showcased the top female startup representatives in 10 different industries, including Education, Fashion & Beauty, E-commerce, Finance & Insurance, Healthcare, Living & Space, Food Tech, Content & Social, Leisure & Travel, and Advertising & Marketing. Choi ranked first in the Content & Social category and 9th overall.[5][6]

Imaginus first work is Cinderella at 2 AM, a drama based on the web novel of the same name by Aigome. It depicts the love story of an ordinary woman who prioritizes protecting herself and a third-generation chaebol man who believes that protecting love is protecting himself. It was selected by KOCCA in April 2023 as one of the 27 projects to receive support from the '2023 Online Video Service (OTT) Specialized Content Production Support Project'. Studio Aljja was working on this project.[7] The drama was written by Oh Eun-ji, co-directed by Seo Min-jung and Bae Hee-young, and starred Shin Hyun-been and Moon Sang-min. The series aired on Coupang Play from August 24 to September 22, 2024, every Saturday and Sunday at 21:00 (KST). It was also broadcast on Channel A on the same day and is available for streaming on Viu and Viki in selected regions.

In October, Imaginus was selected as one of 13 companies for KOCCA's Global Leap Support Project. They participated in MIPCOM, the world's largest broadcasting and video content market in Cannes, France from October 16 to 19, where the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and KOCCA set up the largest-ever Korean pavilion to promote K-content. According to KOCCA, the event attracted over 1,500 exhibitors and 3,500 buyers from 108 countries. The Korean pavilion generated export consultation amounts of USD 468.34 million (approximately around ₩633.7 billion) through 750 consultations over four days.[8]

Imaginus has upcoming projects in the pipeline. In development is melodrama Tempest, which is being produced by Showrunner and Studio AA.[9][10] Prior to that, in March 2023, it was reported that director Kim Hee-won and writer Jeong Seo-kyeong, who previously collaborated on Little Woman, joined forces again for Tempest.

In the summer of 2023, Choi collaborated with Hwang Ji-young and Kim Hee-won to establish Studio Abit. Hwang Ji-young is a renowned entertainment show director, recognized for her work on MBC's I Live Alone from 2017 to 2021, which earned her accolades such as the 2018 Korean Broadcasting Awards Producer Award and the 2020 MBC Special Achievement Award. Her last MBC project was With the Silk of Dohpo Flying in Denmark. Hwang oversees the entertainment department at Studio Abit, while director Kim Hee-won, known for directing Little Women and Vincenzo, oversees the drama department.[17][18][19]

Studio Abit was established as a joint venture between Imaginus and Innocean, an advertising production house affiliated with Hyundai Motor.[2] The studio's primary focus is to create relatable and enjoyable commercial content, including entertainment shows, dramas, and films. Leveraging the expertise of talented creators, Studio Abit aims to accelerate production and deliver high-quality projects. The signing ceremony for Studio Abit took place on August 7 at Innocean's Seoul headquarters, with key executives in attendance, including Innocean CEO Lee Yong-woo, Imaginus CEO Choi Jin-hee, and Studio Abit CEO Hwang Ji-young.[2][20]
