L-R: Hak Kwon Kim (Kevin), d&b sales director Peter Tongue and Jay Hoon Shon.
South Korea - d&b audiotechnik South Korea is situated in Seoul under the stewardship of Hak Kwon Kim, or 'Kevin' to his English-speaking colleagues. Before opening this office, Kevin had distributed d&b into the Korean market for some years. Prior to that, he was extensively involved at management level in the leisure industry and was a director of Korex, one of South Korea's largest PA rental companies.

"From my previous years working with d&b, I knew their systems had considerable potential in the Korean market. When the opportunity arose to open a d&b office, I welcomed this closer association with the company," he says. "I have already begun to establish a distribution network with Dae Sung Media in Seoul, and db Sound in Tae Gu City and intend to expand this in the coming months." Hak Kwon Kim is joined at d&b by Jay Hoon Shon who provides technical and sales support for the region.

A variety of d&b systems have recently been supplied to the Korea Broadcasting System and to the International Youth Federation, which boasts a network of some 200 churches around the country. Korex, Kevin's old company, has also purchased a d&b C4 system including C3s and M2 stage monitors. "With a young, new market, hungry for quality goods, I've every reason to believe that d&b will be very successful in South Korea," concludes Kevin.
