Overview of the Alliance
1. Collaboration in Generative AI Technologies
note and NAVER will jointly advance the use of AI and emerging technologies in creative fields. By combining their AI capabilities, the companies will develop and enhance services that improve the discovery, production, and distribution of digital content and support creators’ work.
2. Integration Between Platforms
The two companies will explore opportunities for cross-distribution of content and IP across their respective platforms, as well as initiatives for global expansion. They will also work to create mechanisms that strengthen relationships between creators and fans and expand the user-generated content (UGC) ecosystem.
3. Co-development and Global Expansion of IP
NAVER operates a robust content ecosystem driven by its global digital comics platform WEBTOON, which distributes a wide range of vertical-scrolling webcomics to audiences in more than 150 countries. Works originating as webcomics often expand into animation, film, and live-action adaptations.
note and its subsidiary Tales & Co. will combine their creator-support networks with NAVER Group assets — including LINE Manga — to discover and nurture new creators and works. The first joint project is scheduled to begin in early 2026.
4. Strategic Investment Initiatives
To accelerate these efforts, the two companies will jointly explore strategic investment opportunities. Leveraging their respective expertise and networks, they aim to expand business domains and strengthen global competitiveness.
