Complete, corrected release follows:

Seegene Establishes French Subsidiary to Expand European Footprint

–  France becomes Seegene’s eighth overseas sales subsidiary and third in Europe, following Italy and Germany

– The country ranks as Europe’s second-largest molecular diagnostics market, driven by demand in sexually transmitted infections and gastrointestinal testing, and respiratory virus detection.

– The new subsidiary is expected to accelerate broader adoption of Seegene’s developing solutions, CURECA™ and STAgora™, in Europe

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Seegene, Inc., a global leader in molecular diagnostics (MDx), announced today the establishment of a new subsidiary in France to reinforce its European presence and support global sales expansion.

The new subsidiary will strengthen local engagement with customers and partners through enhanced technical support, market development and collaboration with healthcare stakeholders.

According to global market research firm Grand View Research, Inc., France’s MDx market is estimated to reach approximately EUR 600 million, accounting for around 15 percent of Europe’s total. It is the second-largest market in the region after Germany, which holds a 19 percent share. Demand in France is particularly high for diagnostic tests targeting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), gastrointestinal (GI) tract infections, and respiratory infections. Through its subsidiary, Seegene aims to expand sales of these product lines while introducing a broader portfolio including cervical cancer and other multiplex diagnostic categories.

“On the French market, which is divided between the private and public sectors, the ability to quickly deliver innovative products and meet laboratories’ efficiency needs is a key factor for competitiveness,” said Daniel Shin, Executive Vice President and Chief Global Sales and Marketing Officer at Seegene. “The subsidiary will enable Seegene to gain a better understanding the French healthcare landscape, strengthening local customer service, and accelerate the growth of the company’s in vitro diagnostics business with dedicated local expertise.”

The subsidiary also provides a strategic foothold for the European rollout of Seegene’s solutions that are in development, CURECA™, a fully automated, unmanned PCR system, and STAgora™, a real-time diagnostic data analytics and predictive insights platform.

The addition of France brings Seegene’s overseas sales subsidiaries to eight, complementing its global distribution network of 90 distributors across 94 countries.

As of the first half of 2025, overseas sales accounted for approximately 93 percent of Seegene’s total revenue, with Europe representing 63 percent. The region remains a key growth driver for the company’s global expansion roadmap.

CURECA™ and STAgora™ are under development and not available for diagnostic use.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Supercent, a fast-rising force in the mobile gaming industry, has made history by becoming the first South Korean company to enter the global Top 10 mobile game publishers by downloads, according to leading app analytics platform Sensor Tower.

In its latest annual rankings, Sensor Tower listed Supercent at No. 7 worldwide, marking the highest placement ever achieved by a South Korean game publisher since the rankings began in 2014. This milestone follows the company’s initial entry into the global Top 10 at No. 10 last year — a remarkable three-spot climb in just 12 months, underscoring its rapid global ascent.

Breakout Hits Power Global Growth

Supercent’s rise has been propelled by two major hits: “Pizza Ready” and “Snake Clash”.

“Pizza Ready” dominated the hybrid casual space in 2025, ranking as the most-downloaded hybrid casual game globally. The title amassed 150 million downloads this year alone, contributing to nearly 40% of its 400 million lifetime installs. Impressively, it also ranked No. 3 among all global app launches since January 2023, and No. 1 among games, according to Sensor Tower.

The game’s innovative ad strategy has been a key differentiator. Unlike typical mobile games that show ads within the first minute, “Pizza Ready” delays ad exposure until around three minutes into gameplay, allowing users to immerse themselves before encountering monetization. This user-centric approach has been praised for balancing engagement and revenue effectively.

Meanwhile, “Snake Clash” has emerged as a global hyper-casual phenomenon, surpassing 180 million lifetime downloads and ranking No. 4 in global hyper-casual downloads this year. Half of its downloads came in 2025 alone, highlighting its explosive growth. Departing from the genre’s traditional reliance on ad monetization, “Snake Clash” implemented a more refined in-app purchase model with skins and packages — a move that significantly improved monetization and user satisfaction. In fact, 33% of user reviews praised the game’s minimal ad experience, contributing to high player retention.

Breaking the Mold: A Milestone for South Korean Gaming

This entry into the Top 10 carries particular significance as it shatters the long-standing perception of South Korea as a “challenging market” for casual games. Despite possessing world-class development infrastructure and creative talent, the South Korean gaming industry has historically been heavily skewed toward domestic-focused MMORPGs, yielding few global successes in the casual genre for over a decade.

Industry observers view Supercent’s rise as a watershed moment. By leveraging South Korea’s robust infrastructure to break through global barriers, the company has effectively proved that the nation’s development and creative capabilities can dominate the mass-market casual sector just as effectively as they have the hardcore genre.

AI-Powered Publishing: A Competitive Edge

Supercent is also gaining attention for its unique integration of AI technology and content strategy into its development and publishing pipeline — a rare achievement in South Korea. The company’s AI-driven publishing system, data-informed decision-making, and content-first mindset have created a sustainable growth engine that sets it apart in a crowded market.

“Amid a flood of new mobile titles launching daily, Supercent continues to generate consistent, large-scale download momentum — not just fleeting viral hits,” said Junsik Kong, CEO of Supercent. “This achievement is proof of our long-term growth potential and resilience in a fast-changing market.”

Kong added, “By combining AI-powered systems, data analytics, and competitive content development, we’re building a virtuous cycle of sustainable growth. Moving forward, we’ll continue maximizing the synergy between AI and creativity to deliver successive global hits.”

About Supercent

Founded in 2021, Supercent has surpassed 1.3 billion total downloads globally and boasts over 20 titles with more than 10 million downloads each. In August, the company expanded its headquarters to the Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, Seoul, and has been accelerating hiring and organizational growth in line with its global ambitions.

BEIJING, Dec. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 3rd Overseas Chinese Talent Conference for Development was held in Fuzhou, capital city of southeast China’s Fujian Province on December 1-3, with overseas Chinese of Fujian origin from 39 countries and regions gathering by the Minjiang River.

As a famous hometown of many overseas Chinese, Changle District in Fuzhou has over 700,000 overseas compatriots. There is one simple bowl of noodles called Changle gangmian noodles that links folk customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, the warmth of a mother and the homesickness of a wanderer.

These thick and springy handmade noodles are not only a name card of local flavor but also a cultural code carrying the shared memory of Changle people, making them a unique bond between Changle and its wanderers across the world.

According to the folk customs of Changle, gangmian and zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) are both essential food for the Dragon Boat Festival. The locals say that zongzi is shaped like “dragon horns”, and gangmian noodles are symbolized as “dragon whiskers”. Eating both during the festival implies “the dragon in the heart”, expressing people’s good wishes of warding off evils and disasters, and seeking good health.

The traditional way of making gangmian noodles is a skill that is full of strength and craftsmanship. From kneading, rolling out and cutting the flour, every step tests the experience and patience of the chef. The hand-rolled noodles are chewy, smooth and do not become mushy even after long cooking, representing the Changle people’s persistent and fighting spirits.

Soup base is the soul of a bowl of authentic Changle gangmian noodles. The soup is made with pork ribs and pork large intestines to enhance the aroma, and boiled with crab, dried shrimp, dried fish, clams and other seafood. The mixture of the ingredients makes the soup base fresh, rich, and multi-layered, combing flavors both from mountains and sea. This implies Changle people’s characteristics of open-minded, inclusive and dare to venture and strive.

Today, although gangmian noodles are innovating while inheriting, giving rise to various ways of enjoying, the traditional craftsmanship and emotional value at the core have remained unchanged. For the people of Changle who have gone abroad to make a living, gangmian has long transcended food itself and become a synonym for homesickness.
