His "Senior Z Project" also drew attention. This project was launched to explore the role of the advertising industry in an aging society.


He selected 11 senior interns with an average age of 64 and assigned them to actual advertising work, thereby demonstrating that senior talent is fully capable in practical settings. The structure, where senior interns and Millennials & Gen Z professionals collaborate as a team, was also regarded as an innovative approach in the industry.


In addition, he led innovation in the practical application of AI technology by producing two short films using generative AI, which went on to win awards at international film festivals.



CEO Jiwon Kyu stated, "Going forward, I will continue to reflect on the direction the advertising industry should take amid changing environments and develop practical solutions."
