HYOSUNG TNC

Collaboration in approachable fields effectively conveys a company's values and exceptional technical prowess to the masses. In this context, Hyosung actively seeks partnerships with the artistic community to demonstrate its cutting-edge technology and esteemed values. Hyosung Advanced Materials provides artists with materials infused with Hyosung's technical expertise, resulting in various collaborations. By partnering with artists who utilize materials such as Hyosung's carbon fibers, eco-friendly safety belt fabrics, and sustainable ‘regen’ fibers, they create artworks that blend industrial materials with creative expression, actively promoting Hyosung's ESG message. Hyosung engages in collaborations with artists and generously supports artist development. By sponsoring Jamsil Creative Studio and the offering teaching classes for aspiring artists, they ensure that youths who want to pursue music and art maintain their dreams. Adding Eco-Friendliness to Hyosung's Technology with Collaboration! Fashion enthusiasts and those who love and dream of the arts may be familiar with the brand 'KANGHYUK.' Hyosung has collaborated with this brand, gaining global recognition since its launch, and now stands as a prominent artist brand. Founded by RCA (Royal College of Art) alumni Kanghyuk Choi and Sanglak Shon, Kanghyuk has garnered significant attention in the fashion world for its upcycling of discarded car airbags, opening new horizons for sustainable fashion. The brand's ingenious approach involves creating state-of-the-art clothing from materials such as defunct airbags, discarded nylon, and polyester. Kanghyuk's acclaim can be attributed to its successful integration of the global megatrends of eco-friendliness and sustainability in fashion, aligning deeply with Hyosung's corporate message. This collaboration between two environmentally-conscious enterprises has drawn attention from both the fashion and industrial sectors. Kanghyuk showcased artistic sculptures using Hyosung Advanced Materials' eco-friendly safety belt fabrics and carbon fibers. These sculptures were created to commemorate the Korean market launch of a premium electric car brand and garnered significant attention for their incorporation of safety belt materials and Hyosung's carbon fibers. These innovative examples fused industrial material properties with artistic aspects, demonstrating the collaboration's success. This collaboration was not the first between Hyosung and Kanghyuk. In addition to showcasing unique fashions using eco-friendly safety belt fabrics that did not meet sales criteria from Hyosung Advanced Materials, Kanghyuk also repurposed airbag fabrics into a ski-wear concept collection, and collaborated with Hyosung TNC's ‘regen’ fibers, made from recycled transparent PET bottles, to create eco-friendly functional materials. Unleashing infinite possibilities through the medium of carbon fiber, a collaborative odyssey. Carbon fiber, a material of dreams, boasting lightweight properties, immense strength, and elasticity, garners attention as a substance teeming with boundless potential across various industries, such as aerospace and hydrogen. We intend to introduce artist collaborations expressing the infinite possibilities inherent in carbon fiber. Recently, a collaboration took place that channeled the endless potential of carbon fiber to radiate positive energy to the masses through song and musical instruments. A pop punk rock band, No Brain and Lazybone, conceived an ESG theme song, 'MAKE YOUR COLOR!', encapsulating Hyosung's ESG identity, employing a guitar and drumsticks crafted from carbon fiber. Witnessing the TANSOME® X Make your Color concert, featuring performances using lightweight yet sturdy instruments made from carbon fiber, served as an opportunity to disseminate Hyosung's eco-friendly message to a vast audience. The otherwise distant carbon fiber was rendered familiar through its embodiment in guitar and drumsticks, providing a conduit for the public to understand and embrace carbon fiber. Carbon fiber continued its collaborative journey with another artistic domain. The protagonist of a collaboration that birthed art from carbon fiber is artist Il Hoon Roh. Roh, who gained recognition upon being invited to the London Aram Gallery, has been structuring patterns found in natural phenomena through cutting-edge materials. Carbon fiber was the material that added wings to the direction pursued by Roh, who captures the awe-inspiring beauty of nature in his work. Roh expressed that the strength, elasticity, and flexibility required to create his work were all met thanks to carbon fiber, alleviating his concern for materials. Beyond carbon fiber, Roh continues his artistic activities by receiving various materials from Hyosung, beautifully expressing the advantages of Hyosung's new materials better than anyone else. Through Il Hoon Roh's captivating artworks created using various innovative materials from Hyosung, the public had the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of these materials. Another artist who creates art using carbon fiber is the renowned carbon artist Sung Hee Kim. After exploring the similarities and diversities of science and art, Kim pioneered the unique field of Carbon Art. Kim, who used to create sculptures from aging materials such as stone, wood, and iron, now presents fascinating and unique works using Hyosung's carbon fiber, Tansome. Kim also produced a future-oriented, eco-friendly, harmony-type lantern pole using carbon fiber materials through a government-supported project. Just as Hyosung has provided infinite possibilities to the industry with the innovative new material of carbon fiber, it is anticipated that Sung Hee Kim will create a new paradigm in sculptural art through his inventive works. Hyosung's nurturing touch for the artists of tomorrow As a leading proponent of ESG management, Hyosung continues to exemplify best practices in sustainable corporate conduct. Having invested in groundbreaking technologies for a sustainable future even before environmental awareness became prevalent, Hyosung remains steadfast in its social responsibility and contributions. One such initiative is their unwavering support for the arts, as reflected in Hyosung's messages and activities. Since 2018, Hyosung has extended its support to artists residing in the Jamsil Creative Studio of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. Hyosung generously provides disabled artists in the Jamsil Creative Studio, a residency for disabled creators, with individual studios, funds necessary for creative activities, awards for Artists of the Year, and exhibition opportunities, ensuring a barrier-free environment for their artistic pursuits. Moreover, Hyosung sponsors and hosts masterclasses by world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. With over 100 album releases and a staggering 18 Grammy Awards, Yo-Yo Ma participates in Hyosung's masterclasses for aspiring musicians. As part of the Hyosung Culture Series, these masterclasses cater to gifted individuals and the socially disadvantaged in the fields of culture, arts, and sports. Through scholarships, instrument purchases, concerts, and music camp operations, these classes support talented young musicians in safeguarding their dreams. Hyosung is dedicated to helping artistically gifted individuals needing social support, empowering them to nurture and realize their dreams. It is with great anticipation that we envision the synergy between these burgeoning artists, nurtured by Hyosung's tender touch, and the company itself. Hyosung continuously collaborates with the cultural and artistic community through sponsorships, collaborations with artists, and more. The reason behind Hyosung's unwavering support for the arts and collaborations with artists is to prevent the marginalization of artists in the cultural and artistic fields. Showcasing the potential of various new materials imbued with Hyosung's technological prowess through artistic expression is possible due to the company's pride in its technical capabilities. By opening up possibilities for creative activities using materials developed by Hyosung and discovering and supporting future artists, Hyosung aims to evoke empathy for their eco-friendly technology and products among the public. Producing a wide range of materials such as carbon fiber, aramid, and tire cords, Hyosung plans to collaborate with artists in even more diverse fields, including fashion, fine arts, and architecture. Valuing ESG as its core principle, Hyosung will continue to apply eco-friendly technology to its business domains, pursue sustainable development, and ensure no one is left behind through social contribution activities. In 2023, Hyosung aims to showcase even more diverse collaborations with special artists. They plan to expand their collaborations, not only with international artists using Hyosung's materials but also by delving into various media art-based collaborations. Hyosung intends to create synergy by combining its eco-friendly technology with the boundless potential of promising artists. By presenting the unique value of Hyosung products through artistic works, they aim to reach more people and provide artists with opportunities to unleash their imagination without material limitations. Keep an eye on Hyosung's activities as they collaborate and make an even greater impact in the future!

A unique approach Is employed to a new brand, reinforce its message, or transform its image: the 'Brand Film.' A brand film is an innovative media concept that combines the characteristics of both commercial advertisements and short films. It poetically expresses a company or brand’s values, vision, and history, not as an advertisement, but as a metaphorical cinematic piece. In the past, corporate advertisements promoted products or listed fragmented information about the company. Those ads were composed of unilateral video formats focused on delivering basic introductions. In contrasts, brand films possess a distinct character. They encapsulate the values, vision, and messages the company and brand seek to convey, emphasizing storytelling and value-centered communication. Naturally, brand films serve as a marketing tool for businesses and brands. However, their objective extends beyond merely selling products. They aim to foster a long-term consumer base by communicating the brand's values and unique aspects through high-quality content. The distinction between conventional advertisements and brand films lies in their focus on cultivating a loyal following rather than on immediate sales figures. The films, referred to as 'brand films' instead of 'movies,’ usually last less than 10 minutes and follow a cinematic format. Hyosung, an innovative and socially responsible brand, plans to create a brand film. We discussed the upcoming Hyosung Brand Film in an interview with the Hyosung Brand Marketing Team. Q. Before the main discussion, could you explain 'Brand Films'? What are they? Brand Marketing Team: A 'Brand Film' is a tool for communicating the essential experiences, core values, and a philosophy a company wishes to convey to customers. It is one of many channels- including press releases, social media, websites, Etc. – but its unique attribute is the practical expression through visuals. It is a powerful way to convey a company's brand identity and visual identity through film. Q. Who do you aim to reach with the Hyosung's Brand Film once it's produced? Brand Marketing Team: We hope that our Brand Film reaches a broad audience- from B2B customers and our employees to Generation Z consumers. Rather than being confined to a specific target group, we aim to incorporate a brand message that speaks to everyone. Through the upcoming Hyosung Brand Film, we aspire to convey the future values that Hyosung pursues, our brand identity, and the direction and strategy of our ESG brand. Hyosung’s new brand concept, 'Agile Promise,' stands for 'nimble pledge towards customer immersion'. Building on this main theme, we've established a brand mission: 'Let's be the first to fulfill our promise to customers for innovation and a sustainable tomorrow.' Our pursuit of innovative technology, and engagement in social contribution activities, both domestically and abroad, are all part of our efforts to fulfill this promise to customers. To achieve our goals, Hyosung strives to become a 'global No.1 innovative solution company leading the transition era.' While we continue to grow as a global innovation company that pursues excellence and innovation, we remain committed to fulfilling our promise to customers through values of responsibility and trust. We aim to present our brand identity, 'Promising the Future Today,' a slogan embodying all these messages, through the brand film. Q: What core values must the Hyosung brand film embody? Brand Marketing Team: We aim to encapsulate 'Hyosung Way' - Hyosung's business value system and key values. ‘Hyosung Way’ refers to a value structure designed to share the necessary competencies and mindset amongst all global Hyosung employees aiming towards new objectives as a pioneering global enterprise. It clearly declares Hyosung's values, judgment, and behavioral standards, both internally and externally. It serves as a value-based decision-making guide for the company, Hyosung, and its employees. While inheriting its past principles, Hyosung has also recalibrated its management philosophy based on the values of the new brand concept, 'Agile Promise.' It is a shift in direction while preserving the existing values of the Hyosung Way. Moving beyond a result-oriented mindset from a corporate perspective, we've encapsulated the intent to co-create the 'process' of change and success within society. The first value, 'Excellence,' signifies Hyosung's relentless effort to achieve superior levels of change and innovation necessary in the lives of global customers. The second, 'Innovation,' represents embracing challenges through new methods, courageously confronting difficulties, and taking bold actions. The third value, 'Responsibility,' reflects Hyosung's dedication to change and innovation, customer commitments, and a sustainable future. The final value, 'Trust,' signifies Hyosung's commitment to adapt to change and create dynamic synergy based on mutual respect, trust, and resource allocation. Q. Could you express Hyosung's brand persona in a single phrase encapsulated in the brand film? Brand Marketing Team: In one phrase, it would be 'A corporation committed to creating innovative and sustainable tomorrows for its customers.' To resonate with life, Hyosung not only imagines and pursues innovative solutions for a sustainable future for humanity but is the first to actualize them, thereby solving the problems of customers and society. Hyosung strives to pioneer innovation and sustainable development to fulfill its customer commitment. In the past seven decades, Hyosung has developed solutions that have met the needs of customers and industries in textiles, material chemistry, heavy industry, IT infrastructure, and renewable energy. Based on this experience, Hyosung will listen to the voices of innovation desired by customers and society, make commitments to its customers, and meet those them first. If Hyosung's brand mission is 'fulfilling its commitments to customers,' its vision is to be reborn as the global No.1 innovative solution company, leading the transition. It aspires to grow into an innovative solution company with global competitiveness in sectors such as energy and infrastructure, thereby realizing environmental-digital-social value transitions. In an era of significant changes, with industry and societal paradigms shifting more dynamically than ever, the world requires a new approach to overcome uncertainty and embrace change. Hyosung is committed to overcoming these challenges, leveraging its advanced technology in business areas such as chemistry, materials, energy, infrastructure, and IT. It is transitioning into a faster and more innovative organizational culture. Furthermore, Hyosung aims to become the world’s leading innovative solution provider, enabling environmental, digital, and social transitions together with its customers. Hyosung aspires to become a company that pursues agility while enacting its 'Agile Promise,' grounded in innovation, sustainability, and addressing customer needs. The company also strives to foster speed, efficiency, and agility, encouraging internal and external collaboration. Through our brand film, we hope you can experience these messages. Hyosung has consistently utilized various platforms including YouTube, brand journalism, and social media, to express its core values and importance. By presenting Hyosung’s product range and illustrating the real-world applications of these products, this communication strategy showcases a behind-the-scenes look at Hyosung employees. Through such initiative, Hyosung has aimed to enhance engagement by showing the everyday relevance of its offering. This brand film aims to encapsulate Hyosung's core values, heartfelt messages, and its authentic vision. It introduces Hyosung’s newly established values, highlighting its ambition to become the global No.1 innovative solution company, its commitment to customers for innovation and sustainability, and its embodiment of agility and passion for innovation. Hyosung is now actively communicating its new identity through various channels, including the upcoming brand film, following its journey over the past half-century. The film will be the next step in communicating Hyosung’s genuine messages and storytelling. Our new brand identity and values will reaffirm the company’s vision and direction, and we invite you to witness them. As we strive to lead the transition era as the global no.1 innovative solutions company, we invite you to join us. Please keep an eye on Hyosung's tomorrow.

‘An Era of Inevitable Business Competition’ In the modern business world, with countless corporations engaged in relentless competition globally, it is no longer sufficient for a business to merely deliver superior products and services or to advance its technological prowess. Corporations must proactively interact with customers, imprinting a positive and vivid brand image while accumulating cognizance and trust. This highlights the paramount importance of marketing. Within this dynamic, new marketing methodologies are fervently adopted across organizations. Recently, B2C2B marketing has emerged as a key component of targeted audience engagement and dissemination strategy. About B2C2B Marketing B2C2B, an acronym for ‘Business to Consumer to Business.’ is a sophisticated marketing model that seamlessly integrates the principles of B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) marketing. To grasp the concept of B2C2B, it is essential to first understand the concept of B2B and B2C marketing. B2B marketing targets organizational needs, interests, and challenges, while B2C marketing transcends mere transactions, seeking to captivate consumer interest. Although targeted at different audiences, these marketing strategies share many similarities and are not entirely distinct concepts. B2C2B marketing is a strategy where B2B companies increase their visibility through B2C marketing, thereby exerting a positive brand influence on B2B customers via a ripple effect. Hence, B2C2B marketing can be construed as a strategy that melds B2B and B2C marketing to reap greater marketing returns. B2C2B Success Stories Around Us As B2C2B marketing gains prominence, numerous global corporations are actively adopting this strategy. A prime example is Naver's Zepeto, widely recognized as a triumphant illustration of B2C2B. Zepeto, a metaverse service that has gained massive popularity amongst Generation Z, surpassed three hundred million registered users worldwide as of 2022. Zepeto's escalating user base spurred its application of B2C2B marketing, executing content marketing via blogs and social media platforms. Through blogs, Zepeto provides information and tips related to its in-app content, while sharing content-related reviews and events on social media. This strategy enhances interaction with consumers, raising awareness of the products, services, and content within Zepeto. Concurrently, Zepeto imparts valuable information such as industry trends and emerging patterns to its corporate clients. Beyond Zepeto, other corporations, like Airbnb, have found success through the B2C2B model. Airbnb operates a review system, allowing consumers to share their experiences in accommodations. These reviews offer critical information for other consumers contemplating a reservation, inducing hosts to provide superior service and increasing the probability of a positive experience for guests. Similarly, Uber has integrated the B2C2B marketing model. As an American ride-sharing service based on smartphone technology, Uber operates a referral program to increase new user sign-ups. Existing users can receive discounted or free services when they refer new users. This tactic enables Uber to recruit new users while encouraging existing ones to participate. B2C2B marketing represents a distinctive approach to B2C marketing. Initially, the business engages with the consumer, and subsequently, it becomes the consumer's participation that generates additional value for the business through their experiences. Essentially, B2C2B marketing fosters an uninterrupted stream of consumer-to-business communication, resulting in positive customer experiences and enhancing customer loyalty. Hyosung, Adapting to The B2C2B Trend Hyosung recently launched 'HYOSUNG X ONAD,' a collaborative marketing project targeting Generation Z. As part of its B2C2B marketing communication initiative, the project aimed to elevate Hyosung's brand awareness among Generation Z while planning creative marketing communications from their perspective. The project was operated for roughly three months, from September to December 2022, and was a collaboration with 'ONAD,' a marketing association club from the Seoul and Incheon area universities. A total of 48 college students who are members of ONAD participated in the project, operating in 15 teams. Each team chose a different marketing task to execute. After analyzing the materials provided by Hyosung and interviewing professionals to evaluate current issues, they carried out their assignments. They were also given intermediate feedback on their tasks. The final projects were personally assessed by ONAD members and Hyosung employees, and awards were presented to the top three teams. Through this project, Hyosung sought to engage in emotional branding by utilizing marketing communications for Generation Z, a future key consumer demographic. Though well-recognized by older generations, Hyosung was less familiar to Generation Z. The company aimed to position itself as a tangible, colorful corporate group for them, primarily by fostering 'Active' and 'Young' brand imagery through dynamic B2C2B communication. The integration of fresh and innovative ideas from the university students into Hyosung's branding and marketing communications became a possibility. Furthermore, a strategic direction was established, allowing the potential implementation of viral marketing targeting the younger generation using both ONAD's platform and Hyosung's in-house platform. By utilizing such B2C2B projects, Hyosung is expected to enhance positive brand associations with Generation Z in the future. Hyosung is attempting to incorporate the B2C2B model into its marketing strategies across various target groups in this era of marketing revolution. The marketing environment is anticipated to evolve even more rapidly in the future. Hyosung plans to establish efficient marketing methods and business models that connect customers and businesses, as well as businesses with each other, through a balanced approach to B2C and B2B marketing. By researching and analyzing the value chain of how Hyosung's services and technology reach customers and how this subsequently leads to the creation of added value between businesses, Hyosung aims to innovate and build global competitiveness. Look forward to the continued growth of Hyosung as a leader in marketing trends like B2C2B in the globally competitive business world.

Adored universally, denim transcends age and gender as a staple in everyone's wardrobe. Initially employed for workwear, this durable and fashionable material has evolved into an iconic fashion item. In producing these beloved jeans, it is said that approximately 32.5 kg of carbon dioxide is released, equivalent to the emissions from driving a car for 11 km. If there was a way to make the millions of pairs of jeans consumed globally each year more sustainable and fashionable without harming the environment, it would be the epitome of perfection. Enter Harlie K, a brand committed to showcasing denim as both chic and sustainable. Harlie K began as an upcycling fashion accessories brand, deconstructing and reconstructing discarded denim to create a one-of-a-kind. By constantly exploring eco-friendly materials like coffee sacks and vegan hanji leather, Harlie K has established itself as a brand that values conscious consumption and supports the circular economy. Moreover, Harlie K actively takes part in Hyosung's ESG brand, RE:GEN, fostering unique collaborations to drive the sustainable growth of the textile and fashion industry. RE:GEN (Reply to Every Generation's Future) stands as a powerful ESG brand that reflects Hyosung's unwavering dedication to continuous eco-friendly technological advancements, geared towards meeting the needs of future generations. With a strong focus on four core values - circular economy, carbon reduction, new energy, and resource conservation - Hyosung solidifies its commitment to ESG management, ensuring meaningful and substantial actions. As Hyosung strives to create a virtuous cycle of sustainable resources, a mission embodied by RE:GEN, Harlie K fully embraces the significance of eco-friendliness as one of its fundamental principles. United by shared values: RE:GEN Hyosung and Harlie K are bonded by their dedication to building an eco-friendly and sustainable fashion industry. As a leading company in the global fashion textile industry, Hyosung continuously challenges and innovates to create a sustainable future for all generations. This commitment has led to open innovation projects to pioneer the future textile market, with eco-friendly fibers and smart textiles at the forefront. Hyosung's enthusiastic pursuit of green brands has culminated in this collaboration with Harlie K, an upcycling fashion accessories brand. Hyosung and Harlie K share a striking resemblance in their pursuit of sustainable fashion and core values. Hyosung produces environmentally friendly yarn from discarded plastic and fishing nets, while Harlie K presents upcycled fashion accessories crafted from repurposed denim. RE:GEN, Hyosung's ESG brand, emphasizes a circular economy and resource circulation, with which Harlie K’s brand identity seamlessly aligns. Hyosung x Harlie K: A Special Collaboration The dynamic collaboration between Hyosung and Harlie K revolves around creating innovative upcycled products that aim to minimize fiber consumption and environmental pollution generated during the production process. Both brands, Hyosung and Harlie K, have joined forces to create a remarkable bag using Hyosung's eco-friendly materials. The first collaborative venture between the two, launched through crowdfunding, introduced the extraordinary Mare Bag, dedicated to preserving the ocean ecosystem. This eco-friendly bag ingeniously combines Hyosung's durable and luxurious recycled materials sourced from fishing nets and waste plastics – two major contributors to the degradation of marine ecosystems – with Harlie K's signature style and practicality. The Mare Bag lineup includes the Mare Bag Ocean Black, featuring Hyosung's regen Ocean Nylon crafted from recycled fishing nets that threaten marine life; the Mare Bag Marina Blue, using Hyosung's regen Polyester made from recycled plastic bottles and boasting a soft touch due to a special process; the Mare Bag Denim Edition, a Harlie K flagship upcycled denim bag; and the Mare Bag Ladder Black, made from Harlie K's vegan leather, Hanji leather. This compelling story of a stylish, lightweight, and practical upcycled bag firmly rooted in an eco-friendly philosophy garnered significant attention, leading to a groundbreaking crowdfunding campaign that raised an astounding KRW280 million in funding – far surpassing the initial target of KRW100 million. Hyosung and Harlie K, after the successful crowdfunding of the Mare Bag, are now preparing to participate in pop-up stores, exhibitions, and festivals to introduce it to a wider audience. RE:GEN ALLIANCE Partner, Harlie K Recently, Hyosung launched the RE:GEN ALLIANCE to collaborate with companies that share the values of its ESG brand RE:GEN.

This collaboration will give substance to Hyosung's efforts for a sustainable Earth for all generations, focusing on environmental friendliness and resource circulation.

Adapting communication methods in line with current market trends and targets not only enhances customer convenience but also triggers sales growth for businesses. For example, recently an integrated online mall has undertaken a website renovation to provide customers with a holistic brand experience. While numerous areas have been revamped, the standout element was undoubtedly the new services intended for the next generation. By offering a wealth of entertainment, including live commerce and video content, not only were explanations about products delivered, but also a variety of information that the next generation desires, such as styling tips. This strategy resulted in an impressive increase in sales of over 30% compared to the same period last year. Hyosung TNC is also adjusting its approach to communicate more proactively with today's consumers. The Hyosung Group, founded in 1957 and boasting 64 years of history and tradition, and within it, Hyosung TNC, a pivotal part of the group, is the world's No. 1 spandex market share holder. It is the representative textile company of Korea, owning not only a variety of high-functioning nylon and polyester chemical fibers, and the country's first self-developed spandex, but also an eco-friendly textile brand. Hyosung TNC has thoroughly reorganized its brand and significantly renewed its primary communication channel, the website, based on the brand value and tradition Hyosung has held. All of these changes have been made to adapt to emerging trends and facilitate smoother communication with consumers. Hyosung TNC's technical prowess captivating both the market and the general consumer Hyosung TNC is a firm not only firmly established domestically but also on the global stage. As the world's only leading company possessing eco-friendly recycled fibers of nylon, polyester, and spandex, along with the globally recognized ‘CREORA Spandex' and a variety of functional yarns, Hyosung TNC stands unparalleled. It is also a powerful company capable of independently producing 'spandex', referred to as the 'semiconductor of fibers', which requires advanced technical and production capabilities to enhance comfort, strength, and elasticity in textiles. Upholding the belief that product power equates to competitiveness, Hyosung has been striving to develop technologies to produce innovative textile products. From 2007, it has strived to create eco-friendly products in the textile industry, and as a result of consistent effort, it has begun to garner interest from not only the textile and fashion industries but also general consumers by showcasing innovative eco-friendly materials. With the rising popularity of yoga and Pilates clothing, lifestyle trends focused on comfort and environmental consideration have become fashionable. Consumers' direct interest and needs for 'CREORA', a brand with various high-quality textile materials, and 'regen', an eco-friendly material brand, have increased. Naturally, this led to a growing number of consumers wanting to know more about Hyosung TNC's products. In particular, the eco-friendly fiber brand 'regen', which Hyosung brought to life through long-term investment and technological development, received much attention not only in the textile industry but also in various business fields. In response to this interest, Hyosung TNC has renewed its brand architecture based on Hyosung's technological edge. The company has also redesigned its website to encapsulate the communication values - innovation, forward-thinking, sustainability, and brand story. TNC Performance Textile Brand Website as a Communications Channel for the Renewed Brand Identity Until now, as a B2B company dealing with materials, Hyosung focused on delivering information primarily through content with high business relevance, communicating through a business-centered website tailored to the needs of stakeholders and existing customers. However, as the boundary between B2B and B2C communication is breaking down, a communication style and channel that matches the perspective of general consumers have become necessary. In response to these changes, Hyosung TNC has revamped its existing CREORA-centric brand site in line with the brand identity renewal into a textile brand website. The appearance of the website and also the structure and contents have been entirely revised. By building an intuitive and highly accessible website based on the new textile brand identity, it is expected to increase the influx rate and expand the preference effect. Hyosung TNC aims to enhance communication with customers based on trendy and timely content by delivering information more intuitively through the renewed website. It is strengthening global content through the introduction of brand journalism, and linking with social media. Furthermore, there are plans to consistently diversify new content. To properly convey the unique values of Hyosung TNC's products. A more readable UI has been developed to properly convey the unique values of Hyosung TNC and its products. Also, the website structure has been revised to make it easier to understand the renewed brand architecture and to provide information about the products, and the site has been designed to make it easy to access the necessary information within the website. Not only the products, but also the history of Hyosung TNC, the future value of the company, and information on sustainability based on ESG management have been revised to make it easier to check. In other words, the new TNC textile brand website aims to effectively and easily convey the values and information that Hyosung TNC wants to convey from the user's standpoint, aiming to play an important role as a hub channel centered on customer experience. Considering that more than half of the consumers of Hyosung products are global consumers and that website visitors come from all over the world including China, India, and Brazil where there are Hyosung TNC production sites, the company intended to build a dealer connection page by country. In addition, to increase the usability of global client companies, a design structure that is easy to handle in multiple languages has been introduced. Global content has been prepared for various overseas consumers and expected to be communicated actively at a global level. The searchability of information on the website has been enhanced by providing detailed search tools by category and search filters so that users who visit the TNC textile brand website can easily find the information they want, and improved accessibility and usability by separately exposing highly accessible products. The Renewed Brand Identity Previously, the brand was divided and emphasized based on materials and functionality. The newly restructured brand architecture consolidates into two main brands, 'CREORA' and 'regen', redefining our product lineup. This renewed brand framework not only offers the advantage of clear and straightforward consumer recognition but also signifies Hyosung TNC's stride towards becoming a brand that leads the entire fashion lifestyle industry, transcending its role as a textile material supplier. 'CREORA' is a leading brand representing high functionality, striving to pioneer the global consumer's lifestyle and redefine the boundaries of textiles. It is a diverse high-functional textile product lineup that creates and pioneers the latest trends, offering a perfect balance of fashion and functionality. 'regen' is an eco-friendly textile brand that seeks to create a circular chain of progress with environmentally thoughtful textile technology. Looking towards an eco-friendly future, regen leads and innovates in the eco-friendly textile market, aiming to build a more distant future eco-system. Not only does regen possess numerous world’s first recycled products, but it is also a brand encompassing a product range made from biodegradable raw materials. On the website, the introduction and story of the newly restructured brand have been arranged in content that ordinary consumers can easily understand, with the aim to communicate the values Hyosung TNC seeks to promote more easily. The new TNC textile brand website, housing the reorganized brand identity, allows you to appreciate appealing visuals, including videos. Breaking away from pages dominated by texts with low readability, we aimed to provide a concise yet powerful brand experience.
