A one-person creative enterprise refers to a sole proprietor with creativity and expertise who operates a business without regular employees; it also includes joint ventures with fewer than five partners.

According to the "2020 One-Person Creative Enterprise Survey" released by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, as of 2018, the number of one-person creative enterprises totaled 427,367, an increase of 24,755 (6.1%) from 402,612 the previous year. By industry, manufacturing (40.9%) and educational services (25%) were the most common.

In response to these social changes, knowledge industry centers recently adopting live offices are attracting corporate attention. For example, Hyundai Engineering’s "Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae," a knowledge industry center with live offices, has surpassed a 50% occupancy rate just five months after opening, with continuous inquiries from companies.

A sales representative stated, “As new types of one-person jobs such as YouTubers and small startups increase, the popularity of live office products that combine work and rest functions is rising, resulting in very high occupancy rates at ‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae.’ Especially since live offices align with recent trends, their popularity is expected to grow further.”
