[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Izmedia announced on the 13th that it will hold a shareholders' meeting at its headquarters in Anyang City on the 30th and appoint Sim Farar as an inside director.

Izmedia plans to accelerate its global business based on Sim Farar's approximately 35 years of diverse experience in public and public-private institutions in the United States.

He currently serves as the chairman of the commission.

In addition, he has gained experience in financial institutions by serving as a trustee of the $12 billion (approximately 14 trillion KRW) Los Angeles (LA) Fire and Police Pension Trust Fund, appointed by the mayor of Los Angeles, and as a board member of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). He is also a figure who has accumulated know-how in the global financial market based on roles such as CEO, director, and advisor at investment institutions including JFD Investment.

The company plans to recruit Sim Farar as an inside director and focus on investment activities and global commercialization for new businesses. Sim Farar will utilize his global network to expand Izmedia's NFT (Non-Fungible Token) platform and seek advice on promising corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A), investments, and fundraising as needed in the future.

An Izmedia official stated, “We will successfully establish the NFT business in the global market by collaborating with Sim Farar, who has achieved remarkable results in both public policy and the private sector,” and added, “He has expressed his intention to consider long-term investment in Izmedia after his appointment to the management team.”
