In his business and legal keynote, President Tack Jin Kim of NCsoft™ Corp. will reveal the story behind the rapid growth of online games in Asia and the company’s strategies for the future.
The world’s game industry bolted to attention as the wild success of Lineage™, NCsoft’s flagship product, which can serve hundreds of thousands of concurrent users online, became well known overseas. Heightened interest toward Korea, viewed as the most advanced online game market has also become increasingly apparent.
Mr. Kim expressed hopes to “enhance the position of Korea’s game industry by introducing the business environment and various know-how that made online games a success in Asia.”
