Global Interactive Technologies Business Summary

Global Interactive Technologies, Inc. (GITS), formerly Hanryu Holdings, Inc., is a South Korean technology-driven platform company specializing in the global K-culture fandom market. The company generates revenue through a multi-faceted monetization model across its primary business segments: FANTOO, a social media platform for K-pop communities; Faning, an interactive content discovery and monetization engine; and Koreavibe.net, a digital media property. Revenue streams include a 30% commission on user-to-user sales of digital assets like emojis and stickers, e-commerce transactions through its "Fanshop," advertising, and logistics fees via its Epic eCommerce platform. Positioned as a niche player in the interactive media and services sector, GITS competes directly with platforms such as Creatd, Inc., NFT Limited, and Oriental Culture Holding, distinguishing itself through deep vertical integration within the Korean entertainment ecosystem. The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Taehoon Kim, a Cornell University alumnus and serial gaming entrepreneur who previously served as the company’s CTO and held a pivotal role in Samsung’s early smartphone business development team. The broader executive suite includes Ju-Hyon Shin (CFO), Dae-Hwan Son (COO), and David Gregg (CCO). A notable pillar of the company’s governance is its high-profile Board of Directors, which includes Larry Namer, the co-founder of E! Entertainment Television and a veteran media innovator. Other key board members include Jay Hyong Woo, President of Epic Pro, Inc., and Amy Shi, who brings extensive cross-industry expertise in banking and technology. Despite its prestigious leadership, the company currently operates as a going concern, focusing on scaling its recently relaunched Faning platform to achieve sustainable monetization.
