New studio/office space!
One of the most important upgrades would be to move Areia Creations operations into a proper office space. Except the acoustic treatment that our productions would benefit so much from, having an exclusive work space would allow to initiate more serious networking with important people. In addition our trainees and artists would have a space to practice and our fans a place to actually visit and have a cup of coffee with us and our idols!
Remix licensing!
We will be able to occasionally licence songs for remixing even from the biggest companies allowing us to officially release the remixes under our company and receive advertisement and sales income!
Hire top level EDM producers!
We will be able to occasionally hire talented and top name EDM producers to work for our brand as guests significantly raising the presence and value of the brand also bringing new fans into kpop!
Remix Music Videos!
We will be able to occasionally work together with other companies and artists and during the shooting of their original music videos shoot extra content that can be used as a music video exclusive to the remix!

You love K-pop but a little too far from you? You can now get a little more involved with this industry!
Areia Creations Global Entertainment (ACGE) is an entertainment company operating in Seoul, South Korea. Through the years and our K-pop remix brand "Areia Remix" we have gained a large and wonderful international fanbase thirsty for k-pop products made for their own taste and standards - we were the first to define the term global k-pop exactly to describe such products. After our involvement in original k-pop productions such as Andamiro's Waiting and our successful indiegogo funding campaign that raised about $15000, we have incorporated Areia Creations as a private limited company (LTD). Today ACGE, except the local team, has an extensive network across the globe that contribute to the company and in co-operation with local production and marketing teams we are ready to debut our first two k-pop artists this year (Rydia & Roh Siena).
How does Patreon work?
How much of my Patreon pledges count as an investment?
Referring to the amount you pledged per product (not the monthly or total amount):
$1~$20.... 0% counts as investment
$30~$50..... 50% counts as investment
$100.... 70% counts as investment
What about Areia Remix?
Areia Remix is the most subscribed k-pop remixing brand with a crew of 15 and more than 140 releases. It is also the only organized and continuous k-pop remixing effort (5 years on-going), the only one that the arrangers getting paid for their work and the only one to provide official remixes that were worked along with the original producers and idols (such as CHI-CHI's Love Is Energy). It is our most active product and we are committing large resources in its development attempting to acquire new remixing talents and rights for more official remixes. Contributing via Patreon is the best thing that can happen to Areia Remix as we can keep raising the production value. It is also how all the people involved in the remix production can be paid for their work and further commit in making more and better remixes!
What exactly is our "k-pop product"?
Why should I invest in this company?
Here at ACGE we are doing something different in a different way. We started 5 years ago as a Youtube channel slowly gaining attention through our works and when we transformed into a company we decided that we should not rely on a single large investor so that the focus will be the contribution to creative arts rather than strict profit making. This means we have full creative control and we can offer you something completely out of the box without restrictions imposed by businessmen, opening the doors to different musical genres and non asian idols marketed to the global k-pop fanbase. That does not mean that our recipe will not result into profit; we are deeply convinced that the continuous release of content and exposure of an artist for their true personality and skills will actually have a much better effect than a single bright debut based on superficial standards. While we do have a number of private investors that help funding part of the production costs, we mainly rely in small contributions from our fanbase for running this company. Being part of this means you can be part of our future success and share the fame and the profit!
What is your target market?
While most traditional k-pop companies and their products remain strongly localized in Korea and the Korean culture in order to avoid the complexities and risks of the international environment, we are a company that grew exactly in that environment and we have a deep understanding of the global k-pop fanbase and its dynamics. While the Korean market is highly saturated and succeeding in it might seem impossible, we see an incredibly large and thirsty market across the globe that requires more k-pop tailored in their own standards and requirements.
How much does operating the company costs?
Basic operation costs such as office space and bills currently run between $1000~$2500/month and this amount keeps increasing as we expand our efforts to establish ourselves in the industry. Furthermore as more of our personnel becomes permanent that amount is expected to increase dramatically.
How much does producing a k-pop group cost?
Even with strong networking and in-house production the total costs for the development, production and promotion of a debut single of a mid-range k-pop group can easily reach six-figure numbers. Solo artists are more flexible and can be produced with a smaller amount but still in the five-figure area.
How will my investment count?
Your funds will be automatically managed and distributed across the projects currently under production resulting into you owning a percentage off the sales of the product resulting from that project (for example an album or music video). Furthermore this will also give you a percentage from all long-term activities of that artist such as live performances and merchandise. While your Patreon contribution may be much less than private investors and only a small fraction of the project's budget, the profit is linear which means as the company and the other investors gain their investment back so you will too. The potential for success is there though and even that small percentage could eventually make you a lot of profit.
How do you treat your artists?
Call us crazy but here is how we are very different from other companies: our artists have full personal freedom and no-recouping! Going against the common sense of the recording industry we do NOT require from our artists to make their investment back before they start getting paid. In addition we allow them to maintain an active and interesting life as long as this does not interfere with the company and does not involve illegal activities.

FAQ
Q: What happens with the rewards if I change my contribution amount or leave?
A: Each case is different and it depends on the total amount you have contributed so far.
Q: I just pledged but I haven't received any contact/reward yet.
A: New Patreons are contacted at the beginning of each month and after their first pledges are collected. In addition access to some critical company information is given gradually to the Patreon in the long term, no matter their current pledged amount.
Q: I just became a Patreon! Where can I download the remixes?
A: Becoming a Patreon is not a way to gain access to remix downloads as we do NOT offer downloads of unofficial remixes. We do not have the rights to offer them or even worse charge for them. The Youtube videos guarantee that the entertainment companies receive their share of income for their rights from the original and so does Patreon for our efforts put on the remixing work. Patreon is a way though for making more and more remixes official - which you are able to download - and your contributions are essential towards that direction.

How does Patreon work?
- You are pledging an amount for every product we are releasing. We usually release a few per month and Patreon allows you to set a monthly maximum to ensure you are not charged more than you can afford.
- You are charged once at the beginning of each month.
- IMPORTANT! Exactly because contributors are able to cap their monthly contribution amount the per product amount shown on this page does not really represent the actual amount we receive which is down to about 65% of that and depends on how many and which contributors have set maximum monthly limits. Furthermore Patreon and other intermediates keep an additional 10% of all the funds we receive. For example a $350/product for 3 products per month does not get us $1050. Instead we would receive a little less than $700.
- In case you are pledging $30+ after your first pledge you will be contacted privately in order to sign our investor's contract. You will also be presented with an online document where you can observe where your funds have been assigned as well as your profit. The pledge is not committing and you might stop it at any time.
