The web entertainment 'Former Offender' is a mega-hit web entertainment with a cumulative view count of 1.2 billion on YouTube, reviewing various academic departments.

Through the YouTube content 'Former Offender' from OOTB Studio, we will enhance the brand value of ENA as a young channel."
The ENA channel, loved by the 2049 audience, has secured high ratings and a spot in the TOP 5 viewing rankings through original content such as the drama 'New Recruit 3', 'I Am Solo', and 'Earth Monopoly World Travel', while expanding the channel's brand influence.
