Live audio and short-form drama platform for global creators and audiences
SpoonLabs operates two distinct content properties—Spoon (live audio broadcasting) and Vigloo (two-minute drama series)—with a backend stack centered on Spring Boot, Kotlin, and AWS infrastructure. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward marketing and product roles, while engineering appears lean; combined with active projects around localization, next-gen architecture, and CI/CD automation, this suggests the company is scaling content distribution and creator tools faster than core platform infrastructure—a common constraint for creator platforms balancing rapid geographic expansion with engineering resources.
SpoonLabs is a Seoul-based content platform company operating two distinct services: Spoon, a live audio streaming app where creators broadcast and interact with audiences in real time, and Vigloo, a short-form drama platform delivering scripted content in two-minute episodes across eight languages.

Vigloo focuses on high-production-value storytelling optimized for vertical screens and global audiences.
