Operating the best troupe in the country ‘Four Seasons’ in the late 1980s, I produced many famous works like “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Reed Wind” and have invested in non-verbal performance percussion group, Kim Duk-Soo’s Samulnori Team and incorporated it since 2001 to make efforts to let the world market know Samulnori till now. In addition, operating the Hoengseong International Go Training Center and constructing and operating 21 buildings of Go Pension, officially managing the brand of professional Go 9-dan player Lee Sedol well known for confrontation with artificial intelligence AlphaGo since 2009, I have turned brain sport Go into an official sport to found Nationwide Go Association for National Sports for All.
My investment experience in such culture and sports businesses that started from a young age led to the art business field, and I promote artist management businesses and various art contents businesses to discover talented artists who will bring honor to K-art and make them succeed as the world’s famous artists.
Recently, the art world has already recognized K-art as the center of post-China, and several global galleries open their branches in Korea. This atmosphere toward Korea will continue for a considerable time. Along with this, we will promote significant overseas exhibitions so that Korean artists can distinguish themselves in the world market through collaboration with famous overseas galleries for strengthening the competence of artists exclusively contracted to our company. We will also serve as a bridgehead for the galleries affiliated with artists from overseas to enter Korea and build up a solid gallery network as well.
The domestic art market size is explosively increasing. The MZ generation is at the center of it, and we promise that we will do our best to continuously promote quality art projects for their trend, increase the position of our company and get bigger results than art consumers who trusted us and invested in us expected for them.
