ROR, which stands for “Recycle of Reliance,” is a platform company that specializes in creating a virtuous cycle ecosystem of information and services based on trust, with the motto of recycling faith, will, and trust. The company has redefined its corporate vision and declared 2023 as the start of its sustainable transformation. The company’s recent growth has made it one of the most prominent players in the Korean tech innovation, with CEO Sangyoung Kim’s outstanding leadership and know-how at the center of it all. His core competencies are exceptional focus and execution, from identifying customer needs to marketing strategy. The company he founded under his leadership, Kadong (a three-person company), exploded 1500 times in enterprise value compared to its charter capital in just one and a half years. This is due to his ability to identify customer-centric services and his strategy to utilize effective marketing channels. He is not satisfied with the current achievements, but is always looking forward to future possibilities and exploring new avenues for sustainable growth. His passion for academia was also noted as he was accepted into the PhD program in Management Information Systems (MIS) at Kyung Hee University’s Graduate School of General Studies. Nevertheless, the fact that he made the decision to take a break from his studies to grow the company speaks volumes about his leadership and strategic judgment.

Social responsibility and corporate growth

A new way suggested by ROR

ROR is a place where his philosophy of growing together with society, not just pursuing business success, is being realized. He has emphasized his social responsibility by donating tens of millions of won in development funds and scholarships to universities, and is preparing a free lecture on corporate image making and marketing to share his experience and knowledge. The current declining birthrate is not just a social issue, but a major challenge for the economy and industry. In order to proactively respond to this issue, ROR plans to introduce various programs and technologies based on AI to revolutionize its business operations. He emphasizes corporate social responsibility, proactive responses to the challenges of modern society, and the simultaneous pursuit of innovative strategies for sustainable growth. Under his leadership, ROR has become a model of corporate engagement with society, setting a good example for other companies and turning his vision into reality. Going forward, his forward-looking management direction and ROR’s continued growth are expected to make significant contributions to the domestic economy and society as a whole.

ROR, the company preparing for the future!

Leading innovation in education with the VIPcampus project!

To continue to grow in the face of global competition, companies need to be able to flexibly respond to changing circumstances, not just be satisfied with their current performance. With this future-focused mindset, ROR and Kim are actively responding to South Korea’s declining birthrate, and they’re not just pursuing corporate profits; they’re taking a big-picture of society’s development and preparing for future changes. We are excited to see what ROR will do in the future and the next changes they will bring. Their challenging behavior will be a great inspiration for other companies. As he continues to drive change and innovation in various fields, the VIPcampus project is in full swing. VIPcampus has boasted the majesty of being ranked No. 1 (according to rankey.com) in the field of state-funded education information for 60 consecutive weeks. ROR, which was recognized by winning the Small and Medium Business Corporation Prize at the Korea Innovation Awards last year, aims to grow into a comprehensive platform for education beyond the field of state-funded education information. To this end, ROR is committed to developing various educational services and innovative programs based on VIPcampus, which will symbolize the banner of innovation and challenge in the field of education. Based on these efforts, ROR is expected to further strengthen its leadership in the education sector and contribute significantly to the development of the domestic education industry.
