Investor FAQ

FY2025 revenue came in at KRW 298.8 billion, up 619% year over year, and operating profit of KRW 12.5 billion marked a swing to profitability.

Global IP businesses — above all G-DRAGON's world tour — directly powered the results. A structure that organically links the four segments of media, IP, commerce and tech also contributed to the growth.

The company describes it as "overwhelming market strength in global IP flowing straight through to the numbers." It had already turned profitable in the first half of 2025, and for the full year swung from an operating loss of KRW 18.8 billion to an operating profit of KRW 12.5 billion.

Roughly KRW 1 trillion is the valuation that Korean and international investors assigned in the December 2025 pre-IPO round. It made Galaxy Corporation a unicorn — a private company valued at KRW 1 trillion or more — six years after founding.

The valuation doubled in roughly two and a half years, from about KRW 500 billion in the first half of 2023. A Physical AI business model that pairs humanoid robotics with entertainment IP — plus the proof point of a swing to profit — are cited as the drivers of the re-rating.

The company raised roughly KRW 100 billion in pre-IPO funding in December 2025. Korean investors including Shinhan Venture Investment and nVester participated alongside international backers such as Taiwan's ADATA and Hong Kong's Star Plus Legend Holdings, bringing cumulative funding above KRW 180 billion.

Proceeds will go toward upgrading the AI-driven Enter-Tech platform and accelerating global expansion. Existing institutional investors include Shinhan Bank, Shinhan Capital and SK Telecom, and the company maintains an ongoing R&D partnership with KAIST covering AI avatars and related work.

Yes. In April 2026, CEO Choi Yong-ho said himself that "G-DRAGON accounts for 75 to 80 percent of our roughly KRW 300 billion in revenue." The company treats this as a core challenge and is working to diversify its revenue base.

That diversification runs on four tracks. First, expanding the artist roster — TAEMIN (March 2026) and Lee Jung-hoo (May 2026). Second, building B2C revenue streams that don't depend on artists' schedules, led by Galaxy Robot Park's permanent shows (targeting more than 1,000 performances a year). Third, technology and product businesses, including AI glasses and commerce. Fourth, expanding into the Middle East and global markets through the Dubai subsidiary. Risk factors are covered in detail in the Nasdaq IPO FAQ.

The company lays out a three-stage growth strategy: stable revenue from artist IP (Today), pairing AI and robotics with IP (Tomorrow), and an IP ecosystem where humans and Physical AI coexist (The Day After Tomorrow).

"The entertainment industry is now moving beyond the era of making content into an era in which content evolves on its own."— Choi Yong-ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation · NYSE interview · Economist (Korea), 1 June 2026

Near term, the company is driving toward the permanent operation of Robot Park, which held its grand opening in August 2026, the launch of an AI-robot choreography studio and an AI music studio, and a robot concert world tour targeted for late 2026. The endpoint of the three-stage strategy is Physical AI — an ecosystem in which humanoid robots bring IP to life alongside human artists — and the company defines itself as a Physical AI enter-tech company.

At a shareholder briefing held at its Yeouido, Seoul headquarters on 25 August 2026, Galaxy Corporation formally announced its push to list in the United States rather than in Korea. The route is a "flip": a new US holding company with the existing Korean entity as its wholly owned subsidiary. Which exchange — Nasdaq or the NYSE — and when remain undecided.

Before that, the company had appointed Daishin Securities and Shinhan Securities as lead underwriters in February 2024 and kept several venues open, including KOSPI, KOSDAQ, Nasdaq and the NYSE. The background and risks of the US listing are covered in detail in the Nasdaq IPO FAQ.
