Tony Park is a South Korean. He has won the operation right of Audition 2 for The9, and helped the company take a stake in G10 Entertainment. He is said to have many friends in his motherland.

Days ago, several top executives of South Korean online game companies appeared in The9's Shanghai headquarters, when the Chinese company is launching an alpha test of its proprietary action game World of Fighter (WOF).

Actually, The9 has begun preparing for its future growth even before the loss of WoW. Earlier reports said that the company would cooperate with Kingsoft Corporation Limited (SEHK: 3888), and participate in the operation of the latter's JX3 Online.
