This collaboration aims to establish a new business model that integrates webtoons and music.

- Tower of God - A fantasy-adventure webtoon that inspired a popular anime adaptation of same name.
- Reawakened Man - A supernatural thriller about a man who can revive after death, currently in development as a live-action adaptation.
