Nexon is likely to re-enter the 'trillion won club' partly due to MapleStory scoring a big increase in sales after the collaboration with Jin

South Korean financial media Ddaily reported about the Nexon company being expected to re-join the 'trillion won sales club' (~762 million USD) of companies in Korea this year. It is experiencing a 24% increase in sales compared to last year. The net profit increased by 14%. There are many games on Nexon. Among them, MapleStory's success was introduced in the article as one of the big three factors, with a description of Jin's activities.

In the summer, the global star Jin collaborated with MapleStory in the series 'Office Warrior Kim Seokjin". The artist had been playing the game since 12 years old and had a higher level in the game than every employee there. As a part of his show, Jin shared more than 10 brilliant ideas for the upcoming Chuseok event and other advice in order to make the game better. Many things, such as mini-games, were included in the game after that. Jin's creativity was praised by the directors too

By the way, even a Jin NPC was added to the game! MapleStory users love Jin a lot and call him their 'Game Lord.' The ideas he introduced were met with a major positive reaction, as the artist was called the 'spokesperson for players' wishes.' 

Ddaily reports that in the 3rd quarter of the year, MapleStory experienced a 47% increase in sales after Kim Seokjin joined the planning team. One of Jin's advice was to increase communication with users. The article analysis says that the sales of Nexon are increasing due to continuous updates and popularity, including the strengthening of communication with users. Cumulative sales in the third quarter of this year also hit the largest in history.
