    Gen Sol Project Wins Top Prize at the 2024 Busan Content Startup Accelerating Program Demo Day

    Busan, South Korea — Nasun announces that the Gen Sol project has been awarded First Place at the 2024 Busan Content Startup Accelerating Program Demo Day, marking a major milestone in the project’s development and validation.

    The Busan Content Startup Accelerating Program, operated by the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency (BIPA), is a competitive acceleration initiative designed to support promising content-driven projects through structured consulting, business diagnostics, pitching preparation, and investor-facing demo opportunities. Gen Sol was selected to participate in the program earlier in the year and completed the full acceleration course over approximately four months.

    At the final Demo Day, Gen Sol was evaluated alongside other selected participants and ultimately received the top award, receiving a cash prize of KRW 5 million, recognizing its overall competitiveness, clarity of vision, and potential for scalable content development.

    Gen Sol is being developed as a narrative-centered IP project within the Nasun ecosystem, with ongoing work spanning multiple content formats. The Demo Day recognition reflects external evaluation of the project’s direction, execution capability, and long-term growth potential.

    “We see this result as confirmation that our approach to building original IP with a long-term perspective is resonating beyond our internal team,” said Naru, founder of Nasun and Gen Sol. “The acceleration program provided valuable opportunities to refine our strategy and present Gen Sol within a broader content and business context.”

    Nasun plans to build on this momentum by continuing structured development of the Gen Sol project and sharing further updates as additional milestones are reached.
