CI Tech "Chairman Kim Youngmin's Inauguration Marks Full-Scale Launch of Future Growth Strategy"

On August 26, CI Tech announced that it will accelerate the expansion of new businesses following the inauguration of its new chairman, Kim Youngmin. Chairman Kim is a prominent figure in the IT industry with an extensive career, having led the global success of the high-end audio brand HiFi ROSE. Recently, he has continued to take on challenges in the field of AI-based digital healthcare.

Chairman Kim founded the IT manufacturing company Cellon in the mid-2000s, acquired Trigem Computer in 2007, and secured shares in Hancom in 2009, presenting a vision for the convergence of software and hardware. Although there was controversy during his management at the time, he was acquitted of all charges in court, proving his innocence.

HiFi ROSE, which was launched with Chairman Kim participating as a technology advisor at CI Tech, is one of his representative achievements. HiFi ROSE is a premium audio brand based on the convergence of audio and IT technology. The product lineup features high-resolution streaming, a touch display UI, and advanced DAC chipsets to maximize the user's music listening experience.

HiFi ROSE has been selected as a World-Class Product, won the 7 Million Dollar Export Tower Award, and has received honors from the world's top three design awards: iF, Red Dot, and IDEA. The brand is currently exported to over 45 countries, with more than 90% of its sales generated overseas. Since the start of the business, it has achieved annual growth of over 100% for five consecutive years.

Chairman Kim recently announced plans to officially enter the AI-based healthcare platform business through CI Tech. He aims to move beyond the existing kiosk-centered business structure and establish an integrated service model encompassing devices, platforms, and content supply, thereby setting a new standard in the healthcare industry. He stated, "AI healthcare will be the core business group leading the future of CI Tech," and added, "We will actively foster it for long-term growth."
