Studio Paranoid
About

More Than a Production House

Studio Paranoid is a creative studio founded in 2017, born from the visionary mind of Director Gun Kim. Specializing in directing, creative planning, and brand strategy, we create stories that transcend the boundaries between art and commerce through commercials, music videos, and short films.

From concept development and art direction to campaign planning and content marketing, we offer comprehensive creative solutions. Rooted in integrity, we are driven by clear purpose and fueled by seamless collaboration embedding intention into every project we take on. By bringing together diverse talents in a cohesive way, we consistently deliver outstanding results, positioning ourselves as a strategic partner in shaping brand identity and direction.

In June 2025, we expanded into a new studio space in Seoul, a creative hub built around direction and planning, designed to inspire collaboration and spark new ideas between brands and creators.

At Studio Paranoid, we continue to question, experiment, and craft emotionally resonant stories that connect with the world.

Studio Paranoid

Studio Paranoid represents a place where diverse ideas and genres intersect and evolve, providing a sanctuary for creative spirits to ignite artistic experimentation and innovation.

Resonance:
Studio Paranoid

Expressions Born of Paranoia

Art is born, and stories come to life when different ideas and thoughts collide, creating moments of deep resonance. The three overlapping lines of the logo symbolize this resonance, reflecting the deep connections we strive to cultivate through our work. The layered text conveys the idea of sound waves echoing and amplifying. They represent the profound impact of shared thoughts and emotions.

Each line subtly intersects with the others, illustrating how diverse perspectives come together to create a harmonious whole.
