    – Received Presidential Commendation in the field of game culture promotion in the game industry development sector
    – Recognized for success in box office success of ‘Cat and Soup’ and promotion of indie game development through unconventional attempts
    – Today (14th), the awards ceremony will be held at COEX… Creating a game that provides healing and fun with Neowiz

    Neowiz (co-representatives Kim Seung-Cheol and Bae Tae-Geun) announced on the 14th that CEO Kim Dong-gyu of its subsidiary Heidier was awarded the Presidential Commendation in the field of game culture promotion in the game industry development merit category at the ‘2022 Korea Contents Awards’.

    The ‘2022 Korea Contents Awards’, hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Park Bo-gyun) and supervised by the Korea Creative Content Agency (President Cho Hyun-rae), is divided into three prize categories: ▲ Merit for overseas expansion ▲ Merit for the development of the broadcasting and video industry ▲ Merit for the development of the game industry It is an event to select medals, presidential citations, and prime minister citations.

    In this award, CEO Kim Dong-kyu expanded the diversity of games through unusual attempts such as ‘combination of genres,’ ‘introduction of new genres,’ and ‘diversification of contents’, and inspired indie game development with the success of the mobile game ‘Cat and Soup.’ It is the result of being recognized for one point.

    The award ceremony was held today (14th) in the COEX conference room. CEO Kim Dong-Gyu, who was on the podium, said, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people involved and users worldwide.” “There are still so many games I want to make. We will continue to create warm and fun games together with Neowiz.”

    On the other hand, CEO Kim has been running a one-man developer Heidier since 2012 and is the one who developed the healing idle game ‘Cat and Soup.’ ‘Cat and Soup’ is characterized by cute cartoon-style illustrations and easy controls and has enjoyed steady popularity, surpassing 30 million cumulative downloads in just over a year since its release. Heidier was incorporated as a subsidiary of Neowiz in November 2021.
