Hi, I’m Jiyong, an account executive based in Seoul.

Having been part of a soccer team, an ultimate frisbee team, and even worked as a skate safety guard, sports have always been an important part of my life. I also love music so much that I dance and have been played in a band as a hobby. And as someone who once dreamed of becoming a pro gamer, I have always enjoyed games as well.

I’m someone who takes action and embraces challenges whenever there is something I want to pursue. Along the way, I have built a strong sense of determination. learning to stay focused and see things through until I achieve my goals. I have also developed a deep appreciation for teamwork by working in sync with many different people and growing together as one. Shaped by these diverse experiences, I bring a unique perspective and the ability to create fresh, distinctive ideas as an account executive.
