You Need Character's 'Cricket Pang' is a Korean Sensation That is Anticipated to Lead the Kids Content Market

CYPRESS, Calif., November 21, 2022 (Newswire.com) - In 2017, a survey from the parents of children between the ages of 2 and 10 in the United States showed that in a week, children's screen-based play time averaged 18 hours and 6 minutes.

Amazon Prime increased from 92 minutes in 2013 to 1,636 minutes in 2016, and Netflix increased from 572 minutes to 6,917 minutes in 2016. This means that the amount of content production is increasing as the demand for children's content increases.

Kids Content is a new market that can distribute content around the world without a large amount of marketing costs, and it is expected that Kids Content will become a key industry leading the Korean Sensation in the future due to industrial and environmental requirements.

In the middle of this trend, You Need Character's 'Cricket Pang' is receiving high expectations for the future.
