NEOWIZ is reorganizing its management and corporate structure to build a sustainable global portfolio around its IP, following the success of Lies of P. In June 2026, the company announced it had internally decided to appoint Park Seong-jun, head of the new development group, as its new representative director. Park is the first representative director in NEOWIZ history to come from a developer background. He previously led development on Lies of P and its DLC Lies of P: Overture. He will serve alongside current representative director Bae Tae-geun after formal approval in August 2026. Current representative director Kim Seung-cheol will remain as an inside director.

In July 2026, NEOWIZ further restructured into three business units: New Game Development Group, Global Business Group, and Live Game Business Group. The company appointed Chris Chung, former CPO of Wargaming, as head of the Global Business Group. The move aims to strengthen global publishing and IP portfolio. Together, the appointments of a developer to the top management seat and a global publishing veteran signal that NEOWIZ is centering its corporate strategy around its upcoming game pipeline and international expansion.
