**Harvard University, Economics Graduate**
- Immigrated to the United States in 1989 as a high school freshman, accepted to Harvard University in just 3.5 years
- Selected as New Jersey State representative artist in 1990-1991, exhibited at Morris Museum for two consecutive years
## The Beginning of a Creative Journey
Kent Kim demonstrated exceptional entrepreneurial spirit from his college years. In 1996, he sent letters to 10,000 people worldwide and received personal handwritten responses from notable figures including Warren Buffett. In 1998, he produced the animation "The Battle Between Harvard Man and Gondra" at Harvard, and in 2000, he began serializing the "Harvard Man" inspirational comic in Dong-A Ilbo newspaper, marking the start of his professional creative career.
## Multifaceted Creative Activities
**Publishing Achievements**

**Film Production**

## Metaverse Challenge and Lessons Learned
In 2022, secured 2 billion won in investment to launch metaverse platforms "Milliverse" and "Diader." Actively promoted at major international events including Gamescom in Germany, Tokyo Game Show in Japan, and CES in Las Vegas. However, failed to secure additional funding in 2023 due to the ChatGPT AI boom and metaverse market decline.
This experience provided a crucial insight: "Metaverse platforms without clear end goals are difficult to sustain." He learned that only game-based platforms like Roblox and Minecraft can survive, while metaverse platforms without specific objectives cannot maintain customer retention.
