Furthermore, it endeavors to reinforce a mutually beneficial relationship between content development and potency by collaboratively crafting content with esteemed K-Trend partners.
Kitto has garnered praise from numerous users for its exclusive interviews and filming endeavors featuring prominent K-pop artists such as the groups 'tripleS' and 'Kep1er'. Additionally, it seeks to sustain its competitive edge by collaborating with various players, such as the Korea Fashion Industry Association, the fashion brand 'STAND OIL', the accommodation reservation platform 'STAYFOLIO', and the travel content platform 'Daytrip', among others.
Looking ahead, Kitto is poised to enhance user engagement and increase usage duration by offering diversified content that incorporates the multifaceted interests of local users. Moreover, across each social media channel, the platform will actively engage with the trend-conscious younger population in Japan through interactive content delivery, in addition to providing informative updates.
Kitto is anticipated to uphold its mission of serving as a premier media platform where the Japanese MZ generation can encounter authentic and cutting-edge K-content. The platform will spare no effort in establishing itself as a cornerstone for Korean-related content, including the highly promising realm of fashion, with significant potential for growth, thereby facilitating its expansion into Japan and beyond on a global scale.
