Galaxy Corporation Establishes Dubai Subsidiary, a First for K-Entertainment - 스포츠경향

Galaxy Corporation, a global AI entertainment‑tech company, has established a Middle East subsidiary in Dubai — branded Galaxy ME — becoming the first among domestic entertainment firms to set up a regional entity in the UAE. The company said the Dubai arm will serve as a base to expand its robotics and advanced media businesses, fully launch global operations through cooperation with local government and major institutions, and drive its “Entertech 2.0” vision that integrates AI, robotics and media technologies.

“Through the meeting with Galaxy ME, we discussed various opportunities for cooperation in media and advanced technology,” Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a member of the UAE royal family, said via official channels. “We expect this to help further strengthen Dubai as a global hub for content and the creative economy.”

Context and details

• Galaxy Corporation announced the formation of Galaxy ME in Dubai and said it will use the UAE’s infrastructure and partnerships to scale robotics and AI‑based content businesses globally.
• Cho Sung‑hae, head of the Middle East entity, met in Dubai on April 16 with Ahmed bin Mohammed to discuss cooperation in media and advanced technology. Cho emphasized the strategic nature of the partnership amid regional uncertainty: “A true friend is one who stands together in difficult times.”
• Cho added, “We trust the long‑term vision and stable systems of the UAE, and we will build together an AI and robotics industry that combines culture and technology,” framing Galaxy ME as a trust‑based strategic partnership rather than a single project.
• Choi Yong‑ho, CEO of Galaxy Corporation, said the decision to locate a Middle East hub in Dubai “during a period of great uncertainty was due to confidence in the vision and execution capability of the UAE.” He also thanked Ahmed bin Mohammed for the “strong trust extended through this meeting,” adding, “Galaxy will in earnest build here a new industry that combines AI, robots, and content.”
• Galaxy described its regional strategy as part of an “Entertech 2.0” push that marries AI, robotics and media technologies and aims to accelerate expansion into Global South markets, using Dubai as a springboard for content, creative economy initiatives and advanced‑media projects.

Outlook

Galaxy Corporation plans to make Galaxy ME a core hub for its global media ambitions, leveraging Dubai’s infrastructure and government linkages to create business opportunities that combine robotics and AI‑driven content. The company framed the move as both strategic and symbolic: by establishing a permanent presence in the UAE, Galaxy seeks to formalize cooperation with local institutions and position itself at the intersection of culture and technology.

With official support signaled by the meeting between Cho Sung‑hae and Ahmed bin Mohammed, Galaxy’s next steps are likely to focus on operationalising joint projects, pursuing partnerships with regional institutions, and deploying its Entertech 2.0 roadmap into target markets across the Global South — a plan Galaxy’s leadership says is underpinned by confidence in Dubai’s systems and long‑term vision.
