Season 1 of the animation ‘Doctor Bipang’, produced by character & animation IP studio NameX Entertainment, will air on Netflix in the spring of 2025.

The animation ‘Doctor Bipang’ is a self-employed noir about ‘Ho-su’, an idol trainee who starts a fish-shaped bread business to make a living, and ‘Doctor Bipang’, the fish-shaped bread god of cooking. The teaser animation released in 2023 recorded 7.72 million views and achieved 800,000 cumulative subscribers on its own YouTube account.

Following the release of the first teaser, Name X Entertainment‘s official YouTube account launched a virtual live broadcast of the main character, ‘Hosu’, in August of last year, broadcasting ‘Pochacon: Hosu-da’ with a visual radio concept, sharing the pre-debut narrative with the core fandom.

‘Hosu’’s debut song and follow-up songs will be released with music videos around the time the ‘Doctor Bipang’ series animation is aired on Netflix in Korea, and full-fledged post-debut activities will begin. The two songs are being completed with the composition of Big Hit composer El Capitan and the lyrics and music of Hosu.

Meanwhile, the ‘Doctor Bipang’ animation won the Excellence Award in the Scenario Development Planning category of the KOCCA (Korea Creative Content Agency) in 2023 and has been selected for a 700 million won series animation production support project in 2024, raising expectations for the birth of a high-quality Korean animation that will move the hearts of the global MZ generation.
