Liveon, one of Vietnam’s leading movie studios, partners with Superfanz to kickoff its next CJ-backed blockbuster film and give fans unprecedented access to the movie’s cast.

After the recent soft launch in Thailand and Taiwan, Superfanz is expanding its footprint to Vietnam in partnership with the upcoming big-budget film Thoat E (True Love) by Live On.

Thoat E (True Love) is based on the popular Vietnamese series called Chien Dich Chong E, which is based on popular online fan fiction. The Chien Dich Chong E series revolved around the lives of 3 attractive yet single women in their 20s. The series’ theme quickly captured the cultural zeitgeist spawning popular catchphrases such as “Single life is the new trend.”

The movie focuses again on the lives of the same 3 characters 5 years later. Thoat E boasts some of the country’s most famous actors and actresses including household names such as Minh Hang, Bao Anh, Dieu Nhi, Thuan Nguyen and Quoc Truong.

Live On is partnering with Superfanz in order to further push the envelop on what’s possible with technology for its movie. Live On is using the Superfanz platform to create the fanpage for the film, offering exclusive VIP membership packages for fan clubs of actors and actresses. Fans will be able to get perks including visit to the filmset during the shoot, join the cast for lunch, and take part in the red carpet events.

Since Superfanz takes a hyper-local approach to the markets the company enters, Thoat E (True Love) will be able to have maximum reach and conversion. This is crucial because 95% of the Vietnamese audience consume entertainment in the local language and make online payment through methods such online banking, counter-service, scratch card, and e-wallet.

“Superfanz brings a very unique proposition to the Vietnam’s entertainment industry. With Superfanz’s platform we give fans unprecedented access to our cast, open new avenues of income for the stars, and generate ongoing buzz for our film, Chien Dich Chong E (True Love),” said Tai Do, CEO of Live On. “What we are doing with Superfanz will be the first for the Vietnam film industry.”

“I see this as a fan service,” added Dieu Nhi, one of Vietnam’s top actresses who plays the lead role in the film. “It rewards my fellow cast members’ super fans and give them exclusive ability to be on this journey with us from the first day of shooting all the way to the red carpet premiere. It’s very exciting.”

“Live On and the casts immediately understood Superfanz’s vision and how the platform can bring something completely new to the film industry. Our mission is always about giving top fans the place where they can get the most exclusive perks from their idols whether that be KOL, influencers, creators or celebrities,” said Oh Thongsrinoon, Superfanz CEO/Founder. “This partnership is the perfect showcase of the benefits we can give to fans, celebrities, and movie studio.”

With the entertainment industry hit hard by the pandemic, Superfanz’s expansion into Vietnam comes at the fortuitous time. KOL, influencers, creators, entertainers and celebrities are looking for more the creative ways to monetize their personal brands. They will be able to use Superfanz social fan club platform to generate extra income on top of their existing ones starting today and this partnership with Live On and the movie Thoat E (True Love) is the perfect showcase of what’s possible.

New platform empowers Asian creators with revenue from fan club memberships, crowdsourcing, event ticketing and social commerce

Superfanz has announced that it closed a 7-figure Seed Round shortly before Lunar New Year. The investment follows a 6-figure Angel Round with a prominent investor and tech entrepreneur in July 2019.

The company makes the announcement after completing and launching the Superfanz platform. Their roster of investors, advisors and strategic partners includes some of the most impressive names in the Southeast Asian region, while their latest valuation at $4 million marks one of the highest pre-launch valuations for an Asian startup.

“Superfanz is a unique startup in the best sense,” said Raymond Chang, CEO of NXT Ventures, the lead investor in their latest round. “When Oh first approached me, he’d already completed a self-funded proof-of-concept. While I love Superfanz’s vision of solving creators’ pain points, it’s their core management team that sets them apart. Their management team are battle-tested with successful track records in the digital entertainment and influencer space.

“It’s not often you can claim to be number 1 in a market, and both co-founders have taken the previous startups they were involved with to no 1 position in Taiwan and Vietnam respectively. This is what ultimately won me over. The fact that they have just launched their platform below budget and ahead of schedule is testament to their ability to execute,” added Chang.

Superfanz is not your usual startup helmed by young, bright-eyed entrepreneurs. Their core executive team averages 20+ years of experience in venture capital, platform growth, gaming, social media and digital entertainment with a couple of successful exits to boot.

The startup quietly launched its Android app of the same name on Dec 29, 2019. The company is officially soft-launching a Pan-Asian fan club platform for creators and special interest groups after Lunar New Year across 3 countries; Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam.

Superfanz plans to announce key partnerships in follow-up releases.

“We are excited that the investors trust our world-class team to execute on our vision of helping Asian Creators create additional income streams so they can do what they dream of doing. Beyond money, this latest investment also opens additional markets in Asia for Superfanz, all the Creators, and their fans. We are already seeing the fruit of this investment with several initiatives aimed at bridging creators across different Asian countries. We can’t wait to share more details in our upcoming announcements,” said Oh Thongsrinoon, Superfanz CEO/Founder
