KNOCK is a program designed to broaden the connection between high-potential content companies and private investment institutions. Previously, the Korea Creative Content Agency, together with the 'KNOCK Partners'—a group of ten private investment institutions—selected companies for the regular round and provided them with customized guidance and professional consulting.

On this day, ten companies that completed this process, including Sanmaru Networks, Adoba, Expert INC, Jiro, and Content Planner, presented their business models, growth visions, and investment plans. The panel consisted of seven investment experts in the content sector, who evaluated each company's growth potential, business model excellence, marketability, and differentiation.

The top prize went to Jiro, the excellence award was given to Draftify, and the merit award was presented to Storytaco. The remaining seven companies received the Innovation Award.

The Korea Creative Content Agency will hold the final stage of KNOCK, the 'Content Value Evaluation Round,' at the same venue on September 8, providing a platform for outstanding project holders to attract investment. On November 5, 'UNOCK 2026 in USA' will be held to facilitate connections between outstanding KNOCK companies and local investors in the United States.

Yoonji Kim, President of the Korea Creative Content Agency, stated, "We will actively support the growth of K-content companies by strengthening our support system from domestic investment attraction to entry into overseas investment markets."
