Turner Asia Pacific is working with Korean mobile product developer Qualson on an app to help different age groups learn English in tandem with Cartoon Network shows and characters.

The subscription-based mobile app will be marketed first in South Korea in October, before being rolled out in Japan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Qualson is responsible for Korea’s popular learning app Super Fan. Shows from Turner’s Cartoon Network featured in the app include We Bare Bears, The Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Uncle Grandpa and Regular Show.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Qualson to enable more Koreans and Cartoon Network fans to watch their favourite shows and improve their English at the same time. We believe that learning is always more effective when it’s also fun,” commented Ron Lee, Turner Korea’s general manager. “Qualson is the perfect partner for Turner to engage more Koreans given their proven track record.”

“Cartoon Network has some of the most iconic animation shows in the world including in Korea and across the Asia region. The new app aims to capitalise on the popularity of these shows to make learning English fun and engaging like never before,” added Sooyoung Park, CEO, Qualson Inc.
