About Us
HWA HWA CO., LTD is an innovative creative studio that serves as a captivating gateway to Korean (East Asian) culture, employing a distinctively chic approach to storytelling through a captivating array of animations, books, and merchandise.
Established in 2017, HWAHWA studio has achieved notable acclaim, receiving numerous grants from the South Korean government and successfully crowdfunding nine compelling projects, encompassing immersive board games and an esteemed series delving into the captivating realm of the Encyclopedia of Korean Monsters.
Drawing inspiration from Korean mythologies, ancient scripts, and historical records, we have meticulously crafted a rich tapestry of authentic Korean monsters and an enchanting fantasy realm known as MeoShín’Ké, inhabited by a diverse array of unique creatures and forlorn souls.
Each monster bears its own enthralling backstory, akin to elusive fairy tales that remain untold even within Korea and Asia. HWA HWA ardently embraces its role as a cultural bridge, forging connections between the East and the West, and promoting a vibrant exchange of cultural treasures. Additionally, we currently have 20 episodes broadcasting in South Korea through Daekyo Kids TV under the title “The Legends of MeoShín’Ké“.
