MIN KYU (ZACK) BAE

My passion and interest in street culture led me to pursue a career in this field. My experience working at a store and at the Stussy Seoul Chapter Store fostered a sense of responsibility and a desire for further growth. Transitioning to the overseas sales team at Kasina and later becoming a manager at Palpal Skates allowed me to gain a more diverse and detailed understanding of street culture, skate culture, and fashion retail. Based on these experiences, I am confident that I am well-suited for this role and can contribute effectively.
