From ZOCCO to VYBE Developing an MCN and AI Creator Ecosystem
According to the group’s business history, 2026 marks its seventh year of business and brand development. Xing Yu Group Berhad serves as the headquarters and business-coordination entity for activities spanning multi-channel networks (MCNs), AI technology, entertainment platforms, media communications, education and film and video content.
Within the group’s ecosystem, Zocco Group Sdn. Bhd. runs ZOCCO’s MCN and livestreaming activities, including creator recruitment, training, talent representation and livestream operations. ECA Global (M) Sdn. Bhd. operates the VYBE application and website. VSTAR Media Sdn. Bhd. participates in the platform’s co-founding and development, while AIMCN Sdn. Bhd. focuses on AI, MCN and creator training.
XY Code provides IT and AI development support, while PRISM MEDIA works in media, public relations, SEO and brand communications. Prism Media Hub is a partner of BrandThirty Sdn Bhd and is managed by Desmond Chen and Chali Tew.
ZOCCO’s creator operations provide equipment, studios, training and operational support for newcomers. Building on this experience, AIMCN combines creator development and content production with AI applications across short dramas, films, music and digital platforms. VYBE is intended to connect these activities with talent development and commercial partnerships.
VYBE Malaysia officially launched on 16 September 2026 at the XingYu Grand Honours × The Shining Award 2026 event. The platform has collaborated with Lincoln Professional Academy (LPA) on education, creator training and AI applications. Event materials also outlined education-related cooperation directions involving UM-Wales and named partners including Yayasan Dato’ Malaysia, TNCSEA, Media Prism, AI Robo, V-STAR, WaveMind, Monochrome and QR Fashion.
Film Projects Connect the Group with Production Partners
The Day We Start Again began filming on 6 October 2026 and is targeting a 2027 release. Filming is planned in Kuala Lumpur and Kluang, with additional filming proposed for Luang Prabang, Laos. Presented by Xing Yu Group and VYBE, the production draws on themes of business setbacks, fresh starts and personal relationships, with Dr Kervis contributing to overall planning and script co-creation.
According to project records supplied by the team, Dr Kervis and associated companies have participated since 2023 in six titles: Indera, The Missing Child, Blooms of Happiness, Kungfu Juniors, Mad Mad World and The Day We Start Again. Their roles differ by project and include investment, presentation, producing, co-production, distribution support and story development.
The group’s collaboration with Lomo Pictures has also extended into short-form content. At the third Malaysia-China Film Exchange Festival in June 2026, Lomo co-founder Ryon Lee signed an MOU with Dr Kervis for a strategic collaboration involving 100 Malaysia-China short dramas, combining live-action performers, creators and AI technology. The proposed collaboration links professional production resources with the group’s creator and technology operations.
At Hong Kong FILMART in March 2026, the team presented film concepts, music, AI imagery and original IP. A China Daily website report credited to Eastday recorded a strategic partnership between AIMOTION and Xing Yu Group’s VSTAR platform at the AIMOTION Global Strategy Launch on 19 March.
