While at CES 2022, I was brought in to interview the companies at the Next Digital Seoul Pavilion. In the two hours I was there, I interviewed 22 different companies in many different areas of technology.
At the head of the whole event is Yo-Sik Kang, President of the Next Digital Seoul pavilion. We sat down as I learned about how COVID affected the South Korean economy. We discussed how things have changed, and what they are planning for 2022 and forward.
