Redefining Korean Cultural Trends: K11 by AC Scales Cultural Commerce to the Middle East

Experience 11 — our pioneering anime and IP business — has entered into a landmark strategic partnership with IPX, the global powerhouse behind iconic brands like LINE FRIENDS. This partnership marks a major milestone in our mission to redefine Cultural Commerce by bringing world-class IP experiences to the global stage.

As a global cultural enterprise, this partnership cements our position as a world-class cultural ecosystem across new borders:

• Strategic Market Growth: K11 by AC is again bringing premium IP retail and entertainment to the Middle East, specifically capturing the region’s rapidly growing Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumer base
• The Power of Cultural Commerce: By leveraging our deep expertise in art and exhibition, we are co-creating innovative brand experiences that bridge global trends with local audiences.
• Introducing “ZO&FRIENDS”: We are proud to host the first-ever Middle East debut of ZO&FRIENDS, the character IP co-created by IPX and G-DRAGON, through an exclusive pop-up store at Abu Dhabi, in Q1 this year.

This new partnership is more than just a debut — it is a testament to K11 by AC’s commitment to scaling our visionary business model to the world’s most dynamic markets.
