   Established in 1999, TSI has been growing into one of the major chemical material manufacturers in Korea which mainly focuses on polyester films, IT related materials and nonwoven fabrics.

   I am in the sales team of display materials. It sells film devises for LCD, release film materials for optical/electrical devises, and AR films. I am in charge of the Korean and the overseas markets for LCD films and MLCC release films.

   These days I am putting my efforts on expanding export of diffusion films for LCD panel manufacturers as well as demolding films to MLCC makers in Taiwan.

4. Q4. When do you feel rewarded at work?

   I feel very much rewarded when I introduce our products to a new client which I have had a hard time to establishing a contact with and I get a positive reaction. Also, I am very proud of myself and my company when I introduce monitors of PCs of famous PC manufacturers, which feature our products of which I am in charge of, to my friends.

5. Q5. What was your most impressive work?

   After about 5 months after I joined the company, I had a business trip to Taiwan by myself. Originally I was supposed to have a business meeting with a representative person. When I visited the company, however, many showed interest in TSI and in the end 14 people including directors showed up for my meeting. During the question and answer session following my presentation, I had many tough questions which I did not know the answers to. During the break, I made a call to my boss and he gave me the answers to the questions. It was hard but the result was satisfactory and, of course, I led the business thereafter successfully.

6. Q6. What is it that you put a lot of effort into in your personal life?

   The more often I go abroad for business, the more important the health care gets for me. So, I am exercising at the gym three days a week. Since I was at junior high school, I have been a member of a rock group named “CRUX.” I am a vocalist and we plan to play modern rock music at a club in December. Currently six of us are rehearsing very eagerly.
