Over the course of his career, he has developed a robust background in legal reporting and has forged strong connections with various government sectors from the Prime Minister’s Office to the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, as well as with prominent prosecutors and lawmakers. He began his journalism career at the Yonhap News Agency, followed by a 26-year stint with leading television and radio broadcaster Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), where he worked as a correspondent, and later led the digital transformation of its newsroom, prior to joining Redhill.

I’m looking forward to assisting our local clients with creating exceptional marketing communications and creative innovations to enter new markets and expand their global footprint and global clients to enter and deepen their market presence in South Korea,” said Do Sik (DS) Kim, Chief Operating Officer, Redhill Korea.
