The Korea Design Award is hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and organized by the Korea Institute of Design Promotion. It is awarded to companies, local governments, and individuals who lead design and drive industrial development. The award ceremony will be held on the 13th at COEX.

Chairman Kim Jong-wook was highly recognized for his contributions to the development of the national design industry through his 31 years of work in design, broadcasting, advertising, and film. Starting his design career in 1992 with advertising production at Daehong Planning and Cheil Worldwide, Chairman Kim later proposed development plans for channel brand identity and visual video design at KBS.

Currently serving as an executive at KBS Art Vision, Chairman Kim has achieved various convergent results in broadcasting video production, total design, events, expos, fairs, merchandising, media art, MICE, urban space design, and public relations.

Chairman Kim, who is active as an advisor and executive in 12 government and local government institutions as well as several design organizations, has been evaluated for strengthening the competitiveness of the future national industry by developing creative design, technology convergence development, design policy research and writing, design standardization policies, and establishing systematic plans for national industry-academia cooperation.

Furthermore, he emphasized the role design should play in social value and problem-solving, highlighting the infinite potential of design that harmonizes design and cultural arts, converges with technology, and considers environmental responsibility in promoting sustainable development of the national industry.
