Operating under the banner of 'K-Culture Curator', KITTO intends
to propagate the worth of K-content, which has garnered global
attention, and foster enhanced engagement with younger users in
Taiwan. In July of the preceding year, KITTO initiated a beta
service and subsequently inaugurated a myriad of social media (SNS)
channels such as Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, etc.,
catering to the preferences of the digital native generation, who
are proficient in navigating the mobile-centric landscape.
KITTO transcends the mere translation and introduction of
trending Korean content by delivering localized, high-quality
content across each channel. Since its inception, the media has
enhanced user accessibility and satisfaction, resulting in a
current follower count surpassing 210,000. Notably, KITTO has
swiftly ascended to prominence as a preeminent K-content account on
Instagram within a mere 6 months of its opening.
KITTO distinctively produces image- or video-centered content
from various domains, including K-entertainment, gastronomy,
fashion, beauty, and prominent places. Furthermore, it fosters a
mutually beneficial relationship between content development and
potency by collaboratively crafting content with leading K-trend
partners.
KITTO has received favorable reviews from numerous users for its
exclusive interviews and filming works featuring prominent K-pop
artists such as the groups 'tripleS' and 'Kep1er'. Additionally, it
has presented competitive content by collaborating with various
players, such as the Korea Fashion Industry Association, the
fashion brand 'STAND OIL', the accommodation reservation platform
'STAYFOLIO', and the travel content platform 'Daytrip', among
others.
KITTO will strategically enrich visual treats for users and
extend their usage duration by offering diversified content that
incorporates the multifaceted interests of local users. Moreover,
across numerous SNS channels, KITTO will actively engage with the
younger population in Taiwan, who are sensitive to entertainment
and trends, through interactive content delivery, in addition to
information sharing.
An official from KITTO said, “Our continuous efforts are aimed
at realizing the goal of becoming a premier channel for Taiwan’s MZ
generation to access trending K-content swiftly and immersively.
KITTO is dedicated to catalyzing the proliferation of K-content,
particularly within the realm of fashion, which exhibits
significant potential for growth, not only within Taiwan but also
on a global scale.”
