‘Connecting Day’ with ‘Homemuse’

‘Homecc Interior,’ the interior specialty brand of KCC Glass (CEO Chung Mong-ik), held a ‘Connecting Day’ event on March 29, doubling as the launch ceremony for the 3rd class of its official supporters group, Homemuse, at Kumkang Leisure in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province.

Homemuse is Homecc Interior’s official brand supporters group, now in its third year of operation, with the goal of broadening the interior architecture field while strengthening customer communication. Its name combines the ‘home’ of Homecc Interior with ‘muse,’ the goddess of art and learning from Greek mythology. During last year’s 2nd class of Homemuse, activities included tours of the KCC Glass factory, visits to construction sites, and testing of material performance, through which more than 100 pieces of social media content were produced, recording over 1.66 million cumulative views and achieving meaningful results. This year’s 3rd class of Homemuse, with a total of 20 members recruited, is organized into four teams and will carry out a variety of activities as official supporters of Homecc Interior over the coming year. In particular, the 3rd class of Homemuse expanded its recruitment pool from winners of the ‘Korea Interior Architecture Grand Prize’ to ordinary university students and consumers with a strong interest in interior design, and experts from the Korean Society of Interior Architects/Designers (KOSID), an incorporated association and group of interior architecture design professionals, will take part as mentors to carry out the activities together.

This Connecting Day event opened with a welcome address from Heo Hyeok, president of the Korean Society of Interior Architects/Designers, followed by lectures from Lee In-sang, general manager at KCC Glass, and Lee Young-jin, director of the Korean Society of Interior Architects/Designers, on the theme of ‘the importance of eco-friendly design for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem protection.’ An awards ceremony for the 2nd class of Homemuse, which was highly active last year, was held alongside the launch ceremony for the newly inaugurated 3rd class of Homemuse. Attendees, including members of the 2nd and 3rd classes, also enjoyed a networking session to build camaraderie. In addition, ahead of the Connecting Day event, attendees added to the significance of the occasion by volunteering to attach bird-collision prevention stickers to buildings within Kumkang Leisure. This year’s 3rd class of Homemuse activities will include participation in the ‘Wild Bird Protection Campaign,’ which KCC Glass is pursuing as part of its ESG efforts.

A KCC Glass official said, “The newly launched 3rd class of Homemuse in particular brings together members from diverse backgrounds into single teams to carry out varied and creative missions together,” adding, “We expect this to help share a wide range of ideas about spaces that add value to life, while also greatly contributing to strengthening the members’ expertise and expanding their networks.”
