Basic, yet Significant step in being Hyundai’s “best friend”

I was debating whether to keep this a secret—but I’m honored to announce Hyundai Motor Company has “officially” recognized my personal connection with the company!

I perceive Hyundai Motor Company’s response to my comment as more than just a reaction.

As someone who was amazed by the exclusive features of the Sonata DN8 and other Hyundai/Genesis/Kia vehicles, touched by Hyundai Motor Group’s identical history as mine, inspired by Hyundai’s marketing/managerial strategies for me to pursue my studies in marketing, and ultimately gained my enthusiasm towards Hyundai—I always hope to show Hyundai Motor Group that there is a human counterpart of itself, and introduce myself as a human counterpart of Hyundai Motor Group.

Hyundai Motor Company’s recognition of and response to my comment mean a lot to me. The reaction serves to me as an indicator that my continuous attempts to connect with the company to show my identical unique values begin to gain significant success.

I would also like to appreciate current and former Hyundai Motor Group officials and employees who interacted with me (e.g., connected with me and/or liked my posts/comments) following my uploading of efforts and comments highlighting the connection of my enthusiasm between Hyundai and marketing on LinkedIn, including but not limited to Mr. Sungwon Jee, Mr. Don Southerton, Mr. Trevor Hale, Mr. Baseem Sayed, Mr. Kurnia Atmojo, and Mr. Carlos Sanchez Sanz.

I would like to extend my appreciation by expressing my honor for being noticed by Hyundai Motor Group’s high end executives, as I personally met Mr. Euisun Chung, Executive Chairman and CEO of Hyundai Motor Group, during the NYIAS 2025 and had a great conversation with him unveiling my respect and appreciation for Hyundai, and as I noticed Mr. Jaehoon Chang, Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, visited my LinkedIn profile.

Although this is barely a basic step for a car company counterpart and a human counterpart of each of us(Hyundai and me) to connect—I hope to further unfold and demonstrate my unique, identical values to my car company counterpart.

“Rather than being a “part” of Hyundai, I aim to be a “best friend” of Hyundai, managerially or emotionally.”
