E-MBA Class of 1 Alumnus Kyungjoo Shin, CEO of Media Gallery Co., Ltd.,

Donates to “KUBS 120 MARCH” Development Fund 

As Korea University Business School continues to build momentum and expand alumni participation through the “KUBS 120 MARCH” campaign, a development fund donation ceremony was held on December 30, 2025, honoring Kyungjoo Shin, an alumnus of the first cohort of the Executive MBA (E-MBA) and CEO of Media Gallery Co., Ltd. During the ceremony, the Business School presented a donation certificate and a plaque of appreciation to express its gratitude for his generous support. 

Mr. Shin shared, “What I learned during my graduate studies was immensely helpful in running my business. Although the academic journey was not easy, the experience became a valuable foundation for the work I do today.” He added, “I hope this donation can serve as a spark that encourages fellow alumni to participate in the campaign as part of a much larger wave.”

He also noted, “When I shared the news with my family, they responded by expressing their willingness to support the cause as well, which made me even more grateful.” He continued, “I plan to maintain my interest in the campaign and make additional pledges through May, as the campaign continues.” 

Mr. Shin is the CEO of Media Gallery Co., Ltd., where he operates a business specializing in the digitization, restoration, and preservation of analog media. His work involves converting materials that were recorded in the past but have become difficult to view—such as old wedding videos—into digital formats so they can be accessed and appreciated again. A major part of the company’s activities also includes cultural heritage restoration projects, in which records originally captured on projector film are digitized for long-term preservation. In addition, Mr. Shin has carried out projects to restore and preserve historical archives held by corporations. 

Mr. Shin noted that the knowledge he gained during his studies proved directly applicable to his professional work, particularly while undertaking projects for public-sector institutions. “I found the lessons extremely helpful in practical, on-the-ground situations,” he said, explaining that his academic experience informed real-world decision-making and problem-solving. He also highlighted the value of the alumni network, adding that it has served as a strong and reliable foundation as he continues to grow his business. 

During his remarks at the presentation of the plaque of appreciation, Dean Eonsoo Kim stated, “The support shown through participation in the KUBS 120 MARCH campaign serves as an important driving force as the Business School prepares for its next 120 years.” He added, “Building on this encouragement, we will continue our efforts to cultivate talents who contribute to future society, while advancing innovative research and delivering leading-edge education.” 

Meanwhile, just one month after its launch, the “KUBS 120 MARCH” fundraising campaign marked a stable and promising start, securing pledged contributions of KRW 890 million for the Development Fund and approximately KRW 1.11 billion for the Scholarship Fund, for a total of around KRW 2 billion. The campaign will continue through May 2026, and KUBS plans to further broaden participation through ongoing engagement and communication with members of the campus community, alumni, and institutional partners.
