Korean Action Series Heads to Kids’ WB! in the U.S.

SEOUL, June 6: Eon Kid,
a robot martial arts action series
originally developed by Korean computer animation studio Designstorm, is
scheduled to air on Kids’ WB! in
the U.S. this fall.

Eon Kid (formerly entitled Iron Kid) is co-produced by Daewon Media, Spain’s BRB
International, and Manga Entertainment in the U.S.
The series was selected as the Korea Culture and Content Agency’s (KOCCA) Star
Project in 2004, the biggest government subsidized fund in Korea. The series
has been airing as Iron Kid on
KBS in Korea since April 2006, and is also airing in Spain.

Designstorm has also
revealed two new animation projects, Roy Vs Roy Jr. and Kung Fu Island. Kung
Fu Island has already been honored
with the Excellent Pilot Project Award in 2006 by KOCCA.

“Eon Kid’s upcoming launch into the U.S. market also bodes
well for Designstorm’s toy and licensing businesses,” said Jungsook Sohn, the CEO of Designstorm and the
executive producer of Eon Kid.
“As far as producing any forms of content is concerned, Korea has the ability
to create and produce. It is important to have a global mind, and to aim
towards the world market when forming partnerships.”
