YT Kim is the creator of COOV, a blockchain-based vaccine pass adopted by 43 million people in South Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating the feasibility of large-scale Web3 services.
Recognizing the shift from public AI to personalized AI, he conceptualized Another-I, an innovative approach to AI personalization. He has systematically defined the key types of personal data required and the methodologies for integrating them, enabling AI to replicate an individual's unique thoughts, speech, and behavior—both rationally and emotionally.
He studied theater directing at Dongguk University, one of South Korea’s top drama schools. His academic foundation in character building and role creation influenced the development of Another-I, bringing a humanistic perspective to AI that diverges from traditional engineering approaches. This unique methodology has played a crucial role in making AI behave more like a real person.
Prior to founding Newnal, YT built extensive experience in the content and education industries, which now informs his strategic focus on developing content-driven business models for personal AI. He also serves as a board member at i-Scream Group (Edu, Media, and Art), where he actively contributes to pioneering AI-driven educational models.
