Charting a Path into the Metaverse: Culturecom Managing Director Kwan Kin-chung on Empowering Classic Characters with New Value

In a featured interview with Ta Kung Pao, Culturecom Holdings Limited Executive Director Mr. Kwan Kin-chung shared his vision for the company’s digital evolution. The discussion centered on how Culturecom is navigating the transition from traditional publishing to a high-growth tech enterprise by integrating its IP library into the Metaverse.

Mr. Kwan emphasized that in the digital age, a comic character’s journey does not end on the printed page. By bringing top-tier IPs like Dragon Tiger Gate and Chinese Hero into the Metaverse, Culturecom is transforming static stories into dynamic, multi-dimensional experiences.

"Our goal is to endow these classic characters with new value," Mr. Kwan stated. Through the use of blockchain technology, NFTs, and 3D digital assets, the company is creating a "new quality of productivity" that allows fans to interact with and own a piece of their favorite cultural legends in ways never before possible.

Hong Kong as a "Super-Connector" in the GBA

The interview also highlighted the strategic importance of the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Mr. Kwan views Hong Kong as a critical bridge—a "super-connector"—that brings together world-class creative talent with the massive market and advanced technological infrastructure of the mainland.

By leveraging the resources of the GBA, Culturecom is poised to take Hong Kong’s unique comic culture to the global stage, overcoming traditional limitations in production scale and human resources through digital innovation.

Preserving Culture Through Innovation

This digital transformation is not just a business move; it is a commitment to cultural preservation. By adapting to modern media consumption habits, Culturecom ensures that the rich heritage of Hong Kong manhua continues to thrive, evolve, and remain relevant for the next generation of digital natives.
