East Orion and LikeIT System launch five Korea-Thailand ventures

East Orion Inc., a global platform company built around cultural content, and LikeIT System LLC, a web and app development specialist, announced on the 1st that they signed an MOU in Seoul on December 30 to pursue new business initiatives and begin jointly developing global ventures.

The agreement centers on combining culture and technology. By pairing East Orion’s global IP and content planning capabilities with LikeIT’s digital development expertise, the companies aim to create new cross-cultural markets focused on South Korea and Thailand.

The two companies plan to complete technology development and service planning by June 2025 and launch operations in earnest starting in September 2025.

✅ Key joint ventures:

Sawadee Love – A dating app focused on Thai women and Korean men

Bangkok Dating Tour – Thailand travel packages built around dating events

Work & Holidays – A platform for South Koreans to experience life as digital nomads

Love Preview Thailand – A one-month stay package for couples before marriage

Bangkok Startup Tour – An experiential tour for prospective entrepreneurs planning to enter Thailand

The ventures may be operated as in-house startups or independent entities, with equity structures to be determined through discussions between the companies. They also plan to explore jointly commercializing additional content and IP owned by East Orion.

Eric Kim, CEO of LikeIT System LLC, said, “This partnership focuses less on technology itself and more on creating cultural experiences through technology. We are ready to serve not merely as a development partner, but as a key driver of platform growth.”

Through this partnership, the companies aim to gain an early foothold in the South Korea–Thailand cross-cultural platform market and drive new consumer trends built on global fandom.
