Meoshi Monsters Shorts on Daekyo Kids TV

HwaHwa Studio, creators of Meoshi World, and Run with Us Productions have entered an agreement in Asia with Daekyo Kids TV, an edutainment channel for children.

Starting in late summer, Daekyo Kids TV will begin broadcasting 20 short-form episodes of The Legends of the Meoshi Monsters. Based on the best-selling illustrated books by Kyoungrim (Lima) Kim and her partner Jan Jose Borkowski, The Legends of the Meoshi Monsters draws on Asian mythology of ghosts and monsters.

Animation production will be split between HwaHwa Studios in Busan, Korea, and Big Jump Entertainment in Ottawa, Canada.

“We are thrilled to partner with Daekyo Kids TV to bring our stories of Meoshi Monsters to Asia,” said Kim,  co-founder of HwaHwa Studios.

“This is further validation of the interest in Korean-created content and the true Asian mythology of ghosts and monsters. We are confident the episodes will be well received and represent a significant stepping stone to introducing Meoshi World in Asia and ultimately around the world,” Kim added.

Daekyo said, “Recently, authentic Korean content (shows, movies, and music) is becoming globally popular. Considering current animation trends in Korea, the monster genre and folk tales are increasingly popular. Daekyo Kids TV believes Meoshi World (a fantasy adventure animation series based on Korean mythology and folk tales) will prove to be a one-of-a-kind unique IP. We are excited to collaborate with global partners to develop Meoshi World animated shorts as an authentic Korean and globally popular show.”

Kevin Gillis, founder of Run With Us Productions, said, “Following on the global fascination with emerging Korean content, we are excited to be partnering with Daekyo Kids TV in introducing these authentic stories of Asian legends to the global marketplace. This is a significant step to be soon followed with the launch of HwaHwa’s longer form animated content.”
