As of 2021, the Korean gaming industry recorded about 20.99 trillion won in sales, of which more than 12 trillion won came from overseas exports, accounting for more than half of Korea's content industry exports. This indicates that Korean games have a strong competitive edge in the global market.

However, the perception of games in Korea is still negative, and strong regulations are also pointed out as a problem.

The New Challenger presents the answer to what strategy the Korean game industry, which competes with Japan, which boasts original IP and tradition, and China, which has a huge domestic market, should take on the global stage. Along with the in-depth narration of Nam Do-hyung, a documentary can be seen on what kind of game plan will be thrown into the global market by enhancing the competitiveness of the Korean game industry.
