South Korea’s education behemoth Kyowon Co. said it will unveil an animated film featuring its own characters, in a move to kickstart its intellectual property (IP) business. 

Kyowon announced on Friday that it will showcase the film titled 'Georanger,' a portmanteau of geology and ranger. 

Sauceria, a character developed by Kyowon, is the main character in the upcoming animated film. 

Sauceria's Youtube channel has more than 103,000 subscribers


The characters will transform themselves into georangers to visit attractions of geological interest and conduct activities aimed at purifying and protecting the environment. 

A Kyowon employee stressed the Sauceria channel on Youtube has more than 103,000 subscribers.
