CEO Hwang has played a leading role since the planning stage in key projects for "Solaseado," an "Energy Future City" being developed in Haenam, South Jeolla Province. Seonam Coastal Enterprise City Development, which will be led by CEO Hwang, is a special purpose company (SPC) dedicated to the implementation of the Solaseado project—a public-private partnership for urban development—jointly promoted by BS Industry, BS Hanyang, South Jeolla Province, and others.

Solaseado is drawing attention as the optimal location for data center construction due to its immediately available large-scale sites, abundant water resources, and a competitive power supply system based on renewable energy. Recently, positive conditions for the project have been created, such as the final confirmation of the site for the "National AI Computing Center" and its designation as a "Specialized Distributed Energy Area."

A BS Group representative stated, "CEO Hwang was the architect of the overall framework and structure for building the AI infrastructure in Solaseado," adding, "Based on his accumulated experience and expertise, we expect the successful attraction of domestic and international high-tech companies and the establishment of the AI Data Center Park, as well as the smooth execution of other core projects."
