A friend was looking for more info about this card. Seems to be Korean and hard, almost like plastic. Thinking it’s something obscure but seems to be a official product unless totally fake!

No idea what it is, but I love it and need one!

It’s a giveaway item from the Korean-based Chung Jung-won food company, which has used Pokemon branding on several of its products.
Top-Insight International is a Taiwan-based company that has held licenses for several Pokemon anime titles. The other names in the copyright notice should be familiar to most everyone here. The copyright notice itself is a bit wonky. The spacing in “T V Tokyo,” to begin with, and the fact that “JR Kikak” is missing the “u” at the end of “Kikaku.” However, it’s not unusual for Asian companies to get romanization wrong.

Yeah.
m.blog.naver.com/PostView.naver?isHttpsRedirect=true&blogId=loonsbe&logNo=120174474306 (half way down)(2012). I don’t know anything about them specifically. Seems like they came with a rice seasoning product or something similar.
The company 청정원 has changed their logo over the years. It’s good to keep in mind if anyone does research.
@japanime , Top Insight is a licensing agent. As you’ve said, they entered licenses for the asian market (excluding Japan).
I’ve been looking at a lot of products lately which were licensed through them.
Here are some examples:

Pokemon Jenga Card Collection from India

Those are all Indian examples.
But these bottle caps from Thailand are also pretty neat.

I actually remember these from childhood. They’re collectible cards that came in fried rice seasoning packets. The seasoning is like Japanese Furikake and it was just a collaboration they did with Pokemon.
The Pokemon theme was visible on the packaging and it came with one of the cards you have.
