IMX, since its establishment in 2001, has been providing Asian content, starting with Korean, to Japan and has played a major role in the introduction and distribution of Korean content throughout Asia. ‘Brokore’ (www.brokore.com), managed and operated by IMX, first introduced Korean television dramas to Japan via the internet, while the company also provides management for the Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon(裵勇俊) as well as So Ji Sub(蘇志燮), Son Ye Jin(孫藝眞), Kim Tei (NHK Korean announcer), and Taiwanese actor Mike He(He Jun Xiang/賀軍翔).
