It's serious business to create cartoon characters that capture the imagination of young fans and industry experts alike.
An event in Seoul is hoping to satisfy both the consumers and the buyers with a host of Korea's best-loved cartoon figures.
Chang Yeo-jeong takes us there.
Taekwon V‚ Korea's animated robot hero‚ reached the height of popularity among young viewers in the 1970s.
Then‚ in the 90s‚ Dooly the Dinosaur with his pouty lips and sleepy eyes grabbed the hearts of children as an animated film character.
Pucca‚ born in 2000‚ has also grown into a popular character that can be easily found both online and off on greeting cards‚ notebooks and jewelry boxes.
RECORDED: "Now these are just a few among some 70 characters on display at the Character Festival 2006. And many visitors say they were impressed to see characters which are usually hard to find on the market these days."
Now in full swing at Children’s Grand Park in Seoul‚ the festival gives visitors a snapshot of virtually the entire kingdom of Korea's cartoon characters.
To give a real-world boost to Korean characters' image‚ the park teamed up with the Korea Culture and Content Agency for this event‚ a venue for the big shots of the day and even those past their prime.
RECORDED: "In the past‚ one could only see Japanese and American characters in the country. In 2000‚ for example‚ Korean characters took up only five percent of the domestic market. However‚ that figure rose sharply to 40 percent last year. Some characters are already doing well in overseas markets."
So as visitors join in the festivities to meet their favorite characters draw them and even shape them‚ the "parents" of these loveable creatures mingle with potential customers.
RECORDED: "One of our characters Pucca has already entered 112 overseas markets. She's truly a global character‚ however she has not yet gained much recognition in Korea. Through this festival‚ we plan to market the character‚ since it's getting ready to be adapted into a TV series and movies."
While for many exhibitors the publicity gained at this festival will mean money in the bank‚ for visitors it's nothing but a fun opportunity to explore the child within.
