As you look at the present era,
was there ever a moment when you thought
this is truly a new kind of a movement or a completely new flow?
Can you say that again?

A completely new....?
Flow?
Flow
For this conference? or for just...
How do you feel about the digital world today?
Connection with the time
There's a term that keeps sticking with me,
which is, innovation never stands still
I think in this world, it's ever-changing, everything.
I mean, yesterday's innovation in AI is pretty much old news by today
So I think every time I see something new,
I feel like here comes the next big thing maybe
But from a live industry standpoint,
there's always something new that we want to try out
We always need to test something
We always want to put a new product in action
But that requires planning,
that requires people out there to test it, to use it,
to fully immerse themselves in that product,
to see what the potentials of it is
So I think every day is a new world
Every day is new innovations
So it's for us to interpret it
and see how we can utilize that
in the shows and the projects that we work in
Whether it's technology or art,
people often say that at the center of it all is the human being
And you also insist that people are the most important part
For you, what kind of thought or feeling lies at the core of your work or projects?
I think there's something beautiful when a team of people,
especially when you have a show where a team of people work together and collaborate,
they take the technology, they take the art that they produce
It's not just the designer who's creating something beautiful here
But if you look at the production as a whole, and you look at what everybody has worked together in,
from the performers to the programmers to the projectionists to the camera operators,
when you look at the product as a whole, I think there's sth beauty in it where it's very human
I don't think any AI can create that
But when we use the different tools and we utilize AI incorporated into it,
I think there's something beautiful there where we have a product that says,
here's a group of people that's worked together and collaborated it,
and here's a design that's worked well with a team of people that worked on it
Looking back, was there a decisive moment or project that shaped who you are today?
There's certainly projects that are milestones in my life,
from a K-pop show or a C-pop show
to a diva artist performance out in Spain or something,
or to an Illuminary project or to something in Sphere
I think every step of the way, every step of the process I've worked in
has changed me every so slightly
So, I think it's a collection,
not really ever a single project that shaped me
As AI and humans create together, and as technology and emotion intertwine,
how do you think the content industry or creative space will evolve?
And within that, what role do you think humans need to play?
I think humans are the guiding voice or the prompt
to drive what AI can do
I think it's a very powerful tool
It's the intelligence there is really also the human portion of it
We as operators, we know what we want
and what we believe is real
I certainly see it as a tool to help us advance ourselves to the next stage
There's a lot of great AI products out there,
but I think it requires us to drive
what that defines us as,
what defines AI to be in our world
Final question
If you need to leave one sentence for the people here today or the future creators,
what would it be?
I didn't hear that, sorry
That's alright
If you need to leave one sentence for the people here today or the future creators,
what would it be?
What would you like to say?
It's there's...
It's our creativity that drives the innovation
And why is that?
Well, I mean,
at the end of the day, what drives the innovation is the art that we create
The more ideas we have,
the more we have a need for solutions
So I think it's important that we keep creating, we keep designing,
so we have growing needs to have solutions for these creative designs
And I think we, as humans, are the key to this
This is what drives innovation
Somebody has an idea, but we don't have a solution
But once we find the solution, there is an advancement that we have
