According to Korea Creative Content Agency President Kim Yun-ji, Fabulous Co., Ltd., a tenant company at the CKL Corporate Support Center, has secured investment from the Mexican educational foundation Guiribitey Family Foundation and is moving ahead with the co-production of a global children’s music animation series with Spanish music production company ZIPZAP Music Production. Based on this, Fabulous will begin producing a global children’s music animation series.
The project is a three-country international co-production that combines Mexican investment, Spanish music production, and Korean animation production capabilities. Korea, Mexico, and Spain will each take on investment, music, and animation production functions, respectively.
Season 1 is a children’s music animation series consisting of 13 episodes, each about 2 minutes long. Fabulous will be responsible for planning and producing the animation for Season 1, as well as character-based visual development, animation production, and video content realization. ZIPZAP Music Production will handle the music for Season 1.
Fabulous is a content studio centered on character IP. Its planning and production areas include animation, music, publishing, performances, and media art. The company’s strengths include the ability to plan video realizations of character worlds and personalities, and it has its own production pipeline as a foundation. It has also built a system capable of expanding a single IP into a variety of content formats.
Fabulous will also develop its own character IP in parallel with this project. Through this project, the company plans to expand from its existing strength in producing character IP-centered content into an animation content production business for overseas-developed IP.
The project will be carried out as a joint business. Fabulous’s participation structure in the project includes securing production costs through overseas investment, as well as acquiring some equity in the IP.
Fabulous will use an AI-based content production pipeline in the animation production process. Through this, it plans to build key production assets such as characters and backgrounds and automate part of the repetitive production process. This will be applied to the production of the main animation series, short-form content, SNS content, and promotional videos, and is intended to extend across the broader production of derivative content.
Fabulous said it plans to expand its global content production business in the future based on the production of Season 1. The target areas for expansion are overseas IP holders, production companies, publishers, and brands. This project will serve as the starting point for expanding international co-production businesses that localize IP held by overseas partners in Korea.
The completed animation series will be distributed primarily in major Spanish-language markets, including Mexico, Spain, and the United States. Various content platforms will be used for distribution. At the same time, Fabulous will continue its own character IP business, as well as publishing, animation, music, performance, and global licensing businesses.
The schedule calls for a contract-signing ceremony with Mexican investors and global partners at the K-Expo Mexico 2026 event, which will be held in Mexico City starting on September 25, followed by the start of Season 1 production in October. Fabulous plans to complete Season 1 production by February 2027.
After Season 1 is completed, distribution is scheduled to begin in major Spanish-language markets, including Mexico, Spain, and the United States. Then, production of Season 2 is planned to begin in April 2027.
Fabulous CEO Yu Bora said the project is a three-country international co-production that combines Mexican investment, Spanish music production, and Korean animation production capabilities. She added that it is a case in which Fabulous’s push for global collaboration has translated into actual investment and production.
Yu said Fabulous aims to connect music, animation, publishing, performance, and licensing around character IP. She added that the company aims to use an AI-based production pipeline to expand a single IP into diverse content and business areas. She also said that the company’s participation model in this project is a joint business structure that secures overseas investment for animation production costs while holding some equity in the IP.
