genres such as "Tower of God," "God of High School" and "Nobles" are generally difficult to image. In recent years, however, the company has reportedly attempted to image fantasy and sci-fi genres, including "With God." He also announced that he is currently developing "Tower of Gods" and "Nobles" as a TV animated series.


Lee Hee-yoon said, "If we target the domestic market due to market and cost issues rather than technology, the cost-effectiveness is small, and we need to target the global market, and we need to consider whether our current resources can be globally successful and how much access we have to reach the country." He added, "The current trend of videoization is more important than how much the popularity of webtoons is suitable for videoization, how attractive the story structure and characters are, and if you have a story that can be targeted by each country, even if you don't have recognition, you're trying new things like videoization."
