Nexon (co-CEOs Kang Dae-hyun and Kim Jung-wook) announced on the 13th that 'N-Connect,' a project designed to bridge the gap between users, creators, and games, has reached 80k cumulative linked accounts just two weeks after its preseason launch.

'N-Connect' is a project structured to connect user participation, creator activities, and gaming experiences. Its preseason began on the live streaming platform 'SOOP' on April 27.

The platform saw high engagement from the start, with 42974 accounts linked on the first day alone and the cumulative total exceeding 70k by the fifth day. As of the first week of May, the average number of viewers for Nexon games on the 'SOOP' platform increased by 65% compared to the previous week, and Nexon's share of the total 'SOOP' game category expanded by approximately 2.6 times, reflecting intense interest from both creators and users.

Creator participation has also been robust, with over 6600 'N-Connect' subscribers and approximately 1k active streamers. Popular streamers such as 'Doochi and Bbukku,' 'Pangiyo,' 'Segeulja,' 'Yu Bong-hun,' and 'Annyeong Suya' have participated, securing top spots in the 'Preseason N-Connector Ranking.' To thank early participants, Nexon will provide 5k Nexon Cash and a 1k-won referral bonus on May 15 to users who linked their accounts between April 27 and May 13.

Users who link their accounts between May 14 and May 24 will receive the same benefits on June 17. Additionally, users who maintain their account linkage throughout the preseason will be eligible for a prize draw for further rewards.

Users interested in participating can complete the process on the 'SOOP X NEXON' account linkage page, while creators can sign up on the 'N-Connect with SOOP' page to receive benefits for their streaming activities. Nexon plans to expand its service base by launching 'N-Connect' on Naver's live streaming platform 'Chzzk' later this May.

The 'N-Connect' preseason will run until September 22, with the regular season scheduled to begin in October. Chae Jung-won, head of Nexon's Media Connected Division, described 'N-Connect' as a program that brings together existing, returning, and new users. He stated that starting with the 'Chzzk' preseason launch, the company aims to build on accumulated data to foster a greater experience created collectively by creators, users, and Nexon.
