Mob Chairman Ki-Kyung Kim
Kim Ki-kyung (pictured), the only private company in Korea that has attracted interest in the culture and art world by hiring 25 top Korean artists as full-time employees, is actively supporting his artists so that they can plan, produce, and perform directly.
In addition, he said that it will contribute to the revitalization of the local economy through business cooperation with Yangsan City, support local artists in artistic activities, and provide high-quality performances to the citizens.
▶ What is MOV Asia?
Mob Asia is a joint venture between M3C GLOBAL, a company affiliated with the Malaysian Asia Lions Group (M3C GLOBAL), where Chairman Chin Chu-ha is located, and my Mob, and I am listed as a director of Mob Asia.
In particular, the Lion Group, where Chairman Chin Chu-ha is located, has competitiveness in distribution, fashion, steel, energy (natural gas), real estate, finance, and agriculture. Since 1987, it has entered the department store business and has grown into a distribution company with 120 department stores in Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.
MOV signed an MOU with Yangsan City on the 15th to export special products from the Yangsan area, and signed an agreement for cooperation, culture, education, experience, and philanthropy for overseas sales.
Therefore, the city of Yangsan should strive to produce high-quality specialty products, and Mob Asia agreed to supply, sell, and export special products produced in Yangsan, develop new markets, and implement culture, education, and business. decided to build
▶What is art platform MOV?
Although the term “art platform” seems common, there seem to be few organizations that have all the functions of a true platform and few companies that lead it professionally.
However, 25 artists belonging to our Mob create their own video content, and create ensembles among their artists to support chamber music performances.
Therefore, chamber music teams gather to form an orchestra, make operas with vocalists, and digest various genres of music. In addition, all of our artists can directly plan, produce, perform, and perform various performances as the movement, chief, and planner, and provide support for creative performances. In addition, we support performances planned by our artists in collaboration with external artists.
Each of the musicians and singers affiliated with the Mob Art Center is Mob's ambassador. In fact, the Gyeongsang Opera Troupe (director, Professor Choi Kang-ji) sponsored by 'Move Classic' decorated the stage with wonderful melodies at the Seoul Arts Center twice in May and July to directly and indirectly announce the existence of our 'Move Classic'. played a role
As such, when talented performers and vocalists belonging to Mob create a wonderful stage, Mob naturally becomes known. In other words, when a performer wears goods or objects with the Mob logo attached, it becomes marketing itself. As a result, the artists' unique idea is to become a strong energy source for Mob to grow into a true art company.
▶If there is an opportunity for MOV Art Center to be headquartered in Yangsan.
In short, there was no particular reason. After operating a plant business in a foreign country for about 20 years, the business base was switched to Korea due to the corona virus. I was in the hotel business in Hapcheon, my father's hometown, is there anything special that others don't?
What is the groundbreaking marketing to promote our hotel? After thinking about it, in early February of this year, an acquaintance introduced me to this place (1045 Ungsangdae, Yangsan City). When I came here, I thought it was really good.
Ungsang's potential for development as a self-sustaining city that has grown from the current 100,000 population to 150,000 or 200,000 seems to be limitless. Mob's building, including the roof, will be made into a cultural center. It will coexist with local residents through high-quality small-scale performances, arts, and planned performances.
▶ What is the MOV Art Center's support plan for local cultural artists?
If there is something planned by the Gyeongsang Opera troupe or a local art group sponsored by our Mob, the members of the Mob will support the performance. Prior to this, Professor Choi Kang-ji of Gyeongsang National University is making the 'Gyeongnam Yangsan Opera Troupe'. We are currently recruiting for Opera. If there are good local talents, we will always recruit them.
In particular, if providing a platform for local artists and a business motel in my opinion can be a success story, it will be a good thing for local artists and businesses as well.
Of course, I do this from a thorough business point of view, but I just hope that it will be helpful to local culture and artists. I want to paint a bigger picture than others think. The money that should be spent on local artists will be generously spent.
▶ What is the contribution of the MOV Art Center to the development of local culture and art?
Yangsan Mob Art Center plans to perform a small theater opera in the future. Although Yangsan has a population of over 300,000, it is not without regret that, unexpectedly, there are not many art organizations that are certified by the audience. Accordingly, we will strive to make our Mob Art Center a base for the development of local art and culture.
At the Mob Art Center, members of our 'Mob Classic' will perform free of charge once a month for local residents. It had already performed once at the Yangsan Cultural Center this year, but it was unknown and there were not many spectators.
In particular, we will perform at events and festivals hosted by Yangsan City, and we will also perform top class performances. Each time, about 150 to 200 people will be invited to provide some food such as refreshments, and we will provide high-quality culture and art to our citizens.
There will also be performances for the underprivileged and the elderly, as well as vocalist performances, artistic performances, violin performances, classical performances, lob dances and singers. Through this, we plan to promote the brand 'Move'.
The brand MOV is recognized as a good brand closely related to the cultural and artistic life of our citizens, and we want to make a good impression on the cultural and artistic life along with the promotion of the MOV Choice and MOV FMB that we make.
I want to receive an image that contributes to society, culture and art through luxurious performances. In other words, through these performances, they are preparing to promote the Mobran social contribution brand.
Also, at Mob Art Center, academy, opera lectures, and classical lectures are possible, and there is a device for performing on the roof. There is also a container that can be opened if necessary.
By signing an MOU with Yangsan City on the 15th, it will discover about 20 to 30 excellent companies in Yangsan and contribute to revitalizing the local economy by acting as a medium to export excellent products produced by these companies to foreign countries.
▶If there is a unique charm of MOV.
At the beginning of February this year, with the idea of doing something for artists in a reality where artists with a great track record running on the domestic top are not being treated satisfactorily by the government or each cultural group, we will capture the passion and global capabilities of young artists in early February this year. A platform was established.
At that time, 25 top Korean artists were hired as full-time employees, and it became a big topic nationwide. This is because, for the first time as a purely private company in Gyeongnam, it hired 25 artists, including orchestra members, as full-time employees.
In general, artists have a lot of difficulties in artistic activities due to the reality of performing artistic activities in an unstable life with the concept of freelance. In the midst of this, talented local artists were hired as full-time employees, giving them the opportunity to fully demonstrate their abilities and see the light of their own accord.
▶Do you have any concerts planned for this year at MOV?
25 top domestic artists were employed as full-time employees, but it is meaningless if there is no stage to set up artists. As an official sponsor of the Korean Small Theater Opera Festival, it has performed about 20 times in April and May, starting with the gala concert on March 27th.
In the second half of this year, Mob artists will decorate the stage as an investment company for the audition program 'Opera Star', which is produced together by the broadcast label La Opera.
▶MOV Dining 85.
Recently, as the level of gastronomy of consumers who enjoy eating out has risen and the taste of food has been leveled up, the restaurant industry is making fierce efforts to discover something else that goes beyond making the main menu delicious.
In the midst of this, 'Hotel and Classic' is a combination that goes well in its own way.
Especially for the MZ generation, do you pay a lot of attention to the interior or view that can leave a life shot? We will lead the local dining culture with the philosophy of Mob's brand, which aims to provide customers with delicious food and new experiences.
In addition, it will be a space where customers who are tired of Corona can return to their daily life after a long wait, and make wonderful memories by hanging out with family and friends through various dishes such as delicious food.
▶ What are your plans for the future?
MOV, which will mark a mark in the history of local culture and arts, has the creativity and flexibility of a private company. Based on this, through various attempts and grafting of culture and art, we will grow into a company that leads the culture and art of the region with contents and planning that only Mob has.
Gyeongsang Opera Company is located in western Gyeongnam, and Mob will become a base in eastern Gyeongnam, and we will move forward as a leading company in the Gyeongnam region. In addition, artists belonging to the art platform MOV plan to do their best to promote the modifier of 'K-Classic' to the world.
