AI Meets Kim Jung-gi's Art

Hanmi Semiconductor unveiled the piece publicly, and a YouTube thumbnail reviewed during the verification process indicates the video is available on the platform. The project pairs the company's branding with the distinctive visual world of one of Korea's best-known illustrators, using AI as the bridge between his existing body of work and a speculative depiction of life two decades from now.
