SY "Reveals 'DIY Nongmak' Production Process with YouTuber Hong Seonsaeng... Online Sales Begin"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Comprehensive building materials specialist SY announced on the 2nd that it will release a ‘DIY Nongmak Making Video Easy to Follow’ through the popular architecture YouTuber Jikyoung Hongseonsaeng channel on the 3rd. In addition, SY plans to start selling the Nongmak in pre-assembly state by parts on the SY M Mall website from the 3rd, with a first batch limited to 20 units for priority supply.

SY has organized the Nongmak production process video into a total of 5 episodes, which will be released one by one starting from the 3rd at intervals. The first episode will show the completed Nongmak, and episodes 2 through 5 will depict the assembly process of the Nongmak. The assembly process videos are subdivided so that even unskilled users can easily follow along.

Consumers can purchase all materials and accessories needed for Nongmak construction on the SY M Mall website. However, Nongmak can only be purchased within the limited quantity set for each batch. The first supply quantity is 20 units, and the closing supply quantity may be adjusted depending on sales status. Delivery of ordered DIY Nongmak will begin on September 1, and shipping costs are separate.

SY plans to send assembly drawings only to applicants who find it difficult to assemble the Nongmak by watching the videos alone.

An SY official explained, “The DIY Nongmak project started from the recent increased market interest in self-construction and modular housing,” adding, “We hope this project will not just remain a matter of interest but lead to the spread of a good architectural culture.”

Hong Young-gi, CEO of the Jikyoung Hongseonsaeng channel, said, “The Nongmak is made of structural insulated panels, which are construction materials that are easy to work with and safe, making it accessible to anyone, even non-experts,” and added, “We will focus on producing content that can contribute to the popularization of architecture, using this project as a starting point.”

Meanwhile, SY signed a content production business agreement with the popular architecture YouTuber ‘Jikyoung Hongseonsaeng’ channel in March. This DIY Nongmak project is the first content released after the agreement. SY and the Jikyoung Hongseonsaeng channel plan to continue collaborating on content production going forward.

The DIY Nongmak was built using SY’s own structural insulated panel (SIP) called ‘SY Polycam.’ SY Polycam requires no separate structure and can be assembled and disassembled with a single tool, offering excellent workability, transportability, and insulation performance.

SY Polycam passed the semi-noncombustible safety test conducted by the Korea Construction Materials Testing & Research Institute held in June. In 2019, it was supplied as modular materials for the construction of 300 isolation intensive care wards for tuberculosis patients in North Korea.
