"MBN is not limited to the Maeil Business News and MBN (Maeil Broadcasting Network), a comprehensive programming channel. Now, Maekyung Media Group will redefine MBN."
At the Maekyung Economy NFT Conference held at the Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 5th, Jang Dae-hwan, Chairman of Maekyung Media Group, presented the definition of 'New MBN'. “The New MBN symbolizes the M of Metaverse, the B of blockchain and big data, and the N of NFT (Non-Fungible Token),” said Chairman Jang. It is a future innovation industry that should not be missed.”
The NFT market, an axis of MBN, is already growing rapidly. This year, the global NFT market is expected to grow 1,500 times compared to 2019. Chairman Jang explained, "In three years, it is expected that the market will more than double and become a total market of more than 100 trillion won." The reason the market was able to grow explosively is because the possibilities of using NFTs in the digital economy ecosystem are endless.
"NFT is, in a word, a 'certificate of authenticity of digital assets'. Everything that exists in the digital world, from pictures and photos to sound sources, videos, and game items, can be made into NFTs, and NFTs will serve as a pass to enter the metaverse world in the future. will do."
Chairman Jang emphasized that "Maeil Business will also be the cornerstone of innovation in the NFT market." In fact, Maekyung Media Group is already attracting attention by carrying out various experiments that combine NFT with media. Maekyung Economy's 'Congratulations NFT' is a representative example. When those who have something to celebrate win an NFT, Maekyung Economy publishes an article announcing this and provides it as an NFT. Not only individuals who have something to celebrate, such as marriage, childbirth, and promotion, but also companies that want to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding, winning orders, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are participating. Maekyung Economy's NFTs are showing extraordinary interest overseas. It was also introduced as an excellent case of using NFT in media at leading overseas blockchain conferences such as 'Blockchain Hub Davos 2022' held in Davos, Switzerland in May of this year.
Maekyung Media Group’s block chain subsidiary, M Block Company, also stands out. In May of this year, Mblock Company made a one-year subscription to the Maekyung e-Newspaper, a digital page of the Maeil Economic Daily, as an NFT. It was the first attempt by a domestic media company to issue newspaper subscription rights as NFTs.
