Hi all, this is JH. Greetings to you, during this amazing time. We are now in 2026! Every year-end and holiday season, a similarly atmospheric lineup of films inevitably appears on American cable TV and streaming platforms. They're a bit jarring, but strangely enough, I find myself watching them over and over again... In a typical setup, a protagonist living a work- and performance-focused life in a big city moves to a small town just before Christmas. There, he encounters a

Hi again, this is JH greeting you for the month of November. What are you thankful for? This week is Thanksgiving Week in the US. Like Chuseok in Korea, it's the biggest holiday of the year, with families gathering together. It's said that approximately 80 million Americans travel more than 50 miles (approximately 80 km) during this period. Considering the US population of approximately 340 million, that's roughly 23% of those traveling to see family. (In fact, many North Ame

Hello, this is Kim Jung-hyun. It's been a while since I greeted you in person. It's a little warmer today, but winter will soon be here. I'm currently experiencing autumn in Korea.

Spirit Halloween  is a store that sells Halloween costumes. I went in to see what costumes would be popular this year, and sure enough, KPop Demon Hunt

YouTube has announced that starting July 15, it will no longer advertise on AI-generated videos - meaning that repetitive, automated, and inauthentic content will no longer be monetized. But what does YouTube mean by “authentic content”? For example, a documentary made by AI can still be considered authentic if it's narrated by a human voice or analyzed with a personal touch. Conversely, videos that consist entirely of TTS, auto-generated videos with repetitive formats, and v

This summer, we've been working on a summer campaign for GC. We broke away from our usual Let's Play format content and got creative with something different and fun. The #1 Drawing Challenge!

on May 29, 2025 In an era where attention is the most valuable currency and content creators shape consumer sentiment in real time, marketing has undergone a fundamental shift. Influencer marketing is no longer supplementary. It’s a core strategy, especially in the gaming industry, where communities form around creators as much as they do around the games. GC Social Media Marketing Inc. (GC) is at the forefront of this shift, transforming how game developers and publishers co

Hello, this is JH! I've safely returned to the United States after a business trip to Korea. The dry, chilly weather of Northern California and the absence of mosquitoes really make me feel like I'm back home.

Hello again, this is GC's JH! It's been a while since I've attended GDC, so I'll be able to greet you in person. This year, I moved from San Jose to a city near San Francisco, and instead of staying in San Francisco during GDC, I commuted to the event via public transportation. Many people asked if there's public transportation in the US, and yes, there is. It's called BART (Bay Arena Rapid Transit), a subway and light rail system that operates in the San Francisco Bay Area.
