This service agreement is a real milestone for FANTOO, and this will be just the starting point for the relationship between our two companies that shows how Hanryu offers a point of difference from other media platforms. We will persistently seek out profitable ventures that utilize not only the revenue from multi-media promotions and merchandise sales generated by the existing FANTOO platform, but also our intellectual property, such as company-owned characters.
