In recent years, it has been making an unprecedented move to front the official PR channels within the group. Prior to the appearance of the E-Mart channel, it appeared on Starbucks’ official YouTube channel on the 1st of last month. At that time, he also showed his affection for Starbucks, which celebrated its 21st anniversary.

Experts analyzed that the’reclusive manager’ was considered a virtue in the past, but in recent years it is time to communicate.

Chung-Hee Lee, a professor of economics at Chung-Ang University, said, “The first-generation owners in the past were conservative and did not communicate directly.”

Professor Lee added, “Consumers know that commercial advertising is obvious, but if the chief executive of the company directly introduces products and services, it gives a sense of trust and makes the message more clear.”
