Meeting with SungSook Han, the CEO of Naver and YoungSun Park, the minister of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups(MSS) in the first-anniversary event of ‘an attentive company’ of MSS

Hello! UKIUKI visited the 1st-anniversary event of ‘an Attentive Company’ I’ve been talking about.

I’m going to talk about it today. It was my first time having an event like this and I was worried a lot.
I worried if I could dare to go to such an event, and I started the business without any connections or capital, so I was really grateful that many people helped me to achieve this far.

First, I will introduce ‘an Attentive Company’

Transformation to Smart Korea
A year with an Attentive Company!

Yesterday, it was held at Naver Partner Square, Hongdae, and UKIUKI was introduced as a smart store operator and a remarkable participant in Naver TV Creator, influencer, Partner Square Live Course Creator, and Brand Salon.

Naver Partner Square!

Naver Partner Square is a start-up growth support center for small businesses.
There are 4 centers in Seoul, Gwangju, Busan, and more!
It would be nice to have a Partner Square center in Suwon, too.

Below are the articles about the event.

UKIUKI, who grew up through an Attentive Company.

I’m the CEO of UKIUKI, a brand that means excited and happy feelings.
I started my business since 2013 through Smartfarm, and I’m the creator and small business owner who makes various products like cat food, supplies, and characters. I’m using Naver in various channels like a blog, post, Naver TV, influencer, and Smart store. Especially, by naming as ‘an influencer of this year’, I could take Naver influencer and Naver SquareTV classes and it was really helpful.
Now, I’m selling my products to Amazon US, Canada, Singapore, and various countries.
I had run an offline shop for about a year and 6 months and had participated in offline fairs 12 times in a year, but finally, i returned to Online. Naver Smart Store gave me the courage to sell our products through various overseas channels.
It is a great honor to meet the minister and Naver CEO and have a talk through this event.
I think it will help people like me and many other operators. Thank you to the MSS and Naver CEO for arranging this event!

I gave a speech like this, but only a few sentences appeared in the articles.
I even couldn’t tell the pink highlight

I took off my mask for taking photos.
I will attach the photo and articles!

1. SungSook Han, the CEO of Naver, “the business has accelerated by working with the MSS”
   Small business owners in Naver Store also mentioned performance. Jin-sung Choi, CEO of Andwood Furniture, said he was supported by Maker Space and was able to grow through Naver’s Partner Square. “We were able to surpass sales last year in just three months this year,” CEO Choi said. “It has already tripled sales last year.” “Customers are diversifying, and there are people who order wooden furniture after ordering just props,” he said. In addition, Se-yoon Oh, CEO of Oshu Designs, and Seung-jin Ham, CEO of Ukiuki, said they were able to grow with the help of Naver.

Yesterday’s event was a precious occasion that I had never experienced before. I hope many people will benefit and help during the three years of an Attentive Company project. I hope you have a UKIUKI day today!
