Q. I donated items such as webcams, microphones, and batteries to support the school’s online lectures. I am curious about your motive for donating.

A. I usually thought that when my business reached a certain level of stability, I should “live by sharing and giving.” I am currently enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the university, and I thought it would be nice if the online lecture system arising from the COVID-19 pandemic would be provided to students in a better form. I delivered my opinion to the school that “If the school needs any filming devices for online lectures, I would be delighted to help.” After that, Professor Joonyoung Ra recommended, and I made the donations.

Q. I heard that you are currently enrolled in the Ph.D. program in the Department of Business Administration at our university and that you are the representative of a company called All Info K. Please give us a brief explanation of this.

A. All Info K Co., Ltd. was established in April 2003 and is a distributor of OEM products of famous domestic brands. In particular, we mainly supply and distribute Samsung Electronics, iRiver, Inkel, and Shinil products. As a result, it was necessary to further systematize the online related process. I entered this year's Ph.D. program in business administration to study theories and in-depth knowledge of my work.

Q. If you have any philosophy on donation, please tell us.

A. I would like to tell you a philosophy about life rather than a philosophy about donation. I have one iron rule. “If I make 100, 50 of them should be spent for society.” I think if I spend 50 for my future and my family, and 50 for my company and society, a virtuous cycle can be created.

Q. Lastly, if you have anything you want to say to the students at this school, please say a few words.

A. Although it is an untact era where we can't see each other's faces, I hope there can be a system that allows students to study closely together. You must learn to communicate in accordance with the online era. I have a weekly “zoom meeting” with my doctoral colleagues in the Department of Business Administration. We became close by talking to each other, and we promised to see each other offline when things get better. I think it is important to talk through conversation. I hope you can meet your colleagues online more often.
