Report Korea Media Co., Ltd. – Company Introduction
Report Korea Media Co., Ltd., established in 2001, is Korea’s first independent content planning and production company specializing in the export of Hallyu (Korean Wave) programs. Over the past 24 years, it has uniquely handled the entire process in-house—from concept planning to production, post-editing, and overseas broadcasting. While not widely known in Korea, the company has supplied over 1,000 television programs to Japan and China, standing at the forefront of Korean content export and international broadcast partnerships.

Corporate Philosophy & Mindset
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that “even a small company can create content for the world.”
Guided by the conviction that “Hallyu is not the exclusive domain of large corporations,” we have been hands-on in all stages—developing customized content that meets the specific needs of each broadcaster.

Rather than simply understanding Hallyu, we’ve grown by becoming a production partner that truly delivers what local broadcasters want—with precision, timeliness, and cultural relevance.

Management Ideology
The Value of Records and Archives
We regard content not as a disposable product but as part of Korea’s cultural record. Over 24 years, we’ve built a substantial archive of footage and publications that document the global journey of Hallyu.

Sustainable Expansion of Hallyu Content
We aim for long-term engagement through authentic and localized content strategies, rather than chasing temporary trends.

Proving the Power of Independent Production
We demonstrate that independent studios—not just large agencies or OTT platforms—can successfully export Korean content worldwide.

AJ2 Co. Ltd.
Startup Other
AJ2 Co., Ltd. was founded on March 25, 2022, but the CEO has been developing iris recognition solutions for over 24 years. AJ2 is now proud that iris recognition technology has reached a top level, and full-scale product sales began in 2024.
Iris recognition stands out among biometric technologies because every iris is unique and it is very hard to fake or change. This means it offers a high level of security.
However, in the past, iris recognition has faced a number of adoption challenges:
• Users had to move their heads, which weigh about 10% of their body weight, to align their eyes with the scanner.
• It required high-cost hardware and algorithms.
• It was sensitive to external lighting conditions and often worked slowly at close range.
Despite these challenges, AJ2 has overcome the limitations with advanced hardware and software. Now, iris recognition is practical and is ready for commercial use.
AJ2’s unique core technology lies in the self-developed optical components — specifically, the camera module and infrared LED, which account for more than 70% of the performance and cost of the iris recognition system.
By integrating these optical components with open-source AI, AJ2 has developed its own ensemble iris recognition solution technology that effectively addresses the challenges faced by conventional iris recognition systems. Building on this technology, AJ2 has also developed an AI Iris Recognition Algorithm using CNN deep learning.

As a result, AJ2's products can recognize a user’s iris and face quickly from 1 meter away, even if the user is wearing glasses. This gives AJ2 an edge over competitors. The system is convenient, accurate, and cost-effective.
Incredibly, AJ2's solution can even detect a user's iris and face from 3 meters away, something that was considered impossible before.
