[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Com2uS, whose operating profit has turned into a deficit due to the global economic recession, is drawing attention as it has gained profits and popularity through side jobs such as stock investment and dramas.
Com2uS' operating loss last year was 16.7 billion won.
Com2uS spent 67 billion won in October last year to buy 990,000 shares (4.2%) of SM Entertainment for about 67,700 won. As of 1:30 p.m. on February 20, it is recording a profit of about 55.8 billion won.
WYSIWYG Studios Co, whose major shareholder is Com2uS (38.13%), is the largest shareholder (20.13%) of RaemongRaein, the co-producer of the JTBC drama 'Reborn Rich'. The drama, which aired from November 18 to December 25 last year, was popular with the highest viewer rating of 26.9% based on Nielsen Korea. The investment industry expects RaemongRaein to generate stable sales with secondary additional profits such as copyright returns and other intellectual property rights (IP).
It is also noteworthy that Com2uS Holdings, the parent company of Com2uS, has been re-listed on Coinone, a virtual asset exchange with the second-largest shareholder (38.5%). Coinone's transaction fee, which resumed trading on the 16th, is 0.2% and withdrawal fee is 0.05 Wemix, ranking sixth in transaction amount as of this day.
