Mr. CHO is the founder of ACOPIA. He founded Acopia in 1999 with a dream of improving Korean-Japanese relations through volunteering activities.
The Korean-Japanese relationship is at its worst since 1945, and has tension seen commonly before war.
With this tension occurring, we want to test the value of Acopia, whose purpose is “Japanese-Korean communication” and “mental understanding”.
Today, he wants to reach out to the world and make Acopia an international organization that facilities exchange. His vision is to do this through shared passion, Asian culture and K-pop. He has a entrepreneurial spirit so he often found to explore new ideas.
