Alumnus Sung Min, who entered Hanyang University, Department of Korean Language and Literature, in 2016 for his undergraduate studies, later entered the Department of Business Informatics at Graduate School of Business in 2020 and graduated. He currently is working as a goal 토토사이트 Scientist in the Marketing Department of the LG Electronics HS(Home appliance Solutions) Headquarters.

Sung is responsible for goal 토토사이트 infrastructure construction and goal 토토사이트 analysis in the Marketing Department, collaborating with goal 토토사이트 engineers.

goal 토토사이트 infrastructure construction involves designing and building infrastructure optimized for the work environment of the requested department of the company, by integrating AI models they own. For example, after signing a contract with a company with an image-generating AI model, he implements a customized system based on that model. This supports marketers in creating images directly without needing assistance from external vendors.

Moreover, Sung analyzes customer data to lead to helpful insights for marketing. The primary sources of analysis are VOC(Voice Of Customer) and Google search volume data. VOC analysis involves gathering data from various channels—such as reviews, comments, X(formerly Twitter), Amazon, and the company's own site—to understand customer responses to products and services. Google search volume data is used to analyze search trends for the company and its competitors by country and product. The analysis results are then communicated in a format easily understandable to marketers.

In this way, he builds the infrastructure which marketing departments can use and supports goal 토토사이트-driven decision making with insights from analysis.

Sung was not someone who dreamt of goal 토토사이트 Scientist since young. The turning point for him was an internship experience. During the first semester of his senior year, he gained hands-on experience by working as an intern at his goal company. During this process, he realized he wanted to pursue a different career path which requires greater expertise and is irreplaceable.

He recalled, "At the time, I had three options: data scientist and accountant which requires expertise, and a relatively stable public corporation." After hearing an industry forecast from the Rothschild family, who visited as speakers to his company, that the data field was promising, he became even more interested in becoming a Data Scientist.

Believing that 'direct experience is the fastest way to learn,' he took goal 토토사이트 science-related lectures and carried out toy projects while interning in the US. After returning for the second semester in his senior year, he spent eight weeks learning Python, participated in a hackathon, and won first place in the competition.

Toward the end of his senior year, still deeply concerned about his career path, he sought advice from Professor Kim Jong-woo at the School of Business Administration, who is renowned for goal 토토사이트 mining. He organized his learning and projects and requested a consultation on his academic direction. This led him to begin writing a paper with Professor Kim. Sung conducted research in the NLP(Natural Language Processing) field. The study involved implementing a deep learning-based sentiment analysis model using natural language processing models and analyzing movie box office factors through transfer learning and multidimensional sentiment analysis.

In the first semester of his fifth year, he built his foundation by taking science and engineering courses such as Linear Algebra and Statistics and continued goal 토토사이트 analysis research with Professor Kim in the lab. He then advanced to the Department of Business Informatics in the Hanyang University Graduate School of Business, where Professor Kim was involved, completing a two-year master's course.

As he majored in a distant area of study during his undergraduate years, the process of challenging a new field was not easy. Sung confessed, "When taking engineering courses, I felt intimidated, worried about being disconnected and falling behind. I also was afraid of failures and doubted myself, wondering if I was going down the wrong path." Whenever he felt that way, Sung said he "just did it." He recalled, "I spent hours studying and researching tirelessly, day by day. Then, one day, the paper was complete, and I could see I had grown significantly myself."

Sung defines a Data Scientist as 'a person who defines business problems and solves them technologically.' He explained, "The ability to clearly understand and define the problem, and the competence to apply technical methods appropriately to solve it, are necessary." He cited 'ability to define problems,' 'interest in technologies,' and a 'challenging spirit unafraid of obstacles' as essential qualities for a Data Scientist.

Sung advised junior Hanyangians aspiring to enter the data science field to "focus on the most important." He said, "There are many areas to learn and master, from problem-solving skills to various AI, machine learning, and deep learning techniques. Instead of trying to be good at everything at once, you need to prioritize and focus on the competencies you need most." He also added, "Linear Algebra and Statistics are required, and experience in projects is crucial."

Sung built his own expertise by crossing tgoal 토토사이트 boundaries of his major. goal 토토사이트 actively pursued exploring and pioneering tgoal 토토사이트 future, diligently training himself daily despite feeling insecurity. His journey leaves a message for Hanyangians contemplating tgoal 토토사이트ir path forward: even if it is scary and uncertain, if you walk steadily, you will meet a solidly grown version of yourself at tgoal 토토사이트 end of that road.

We hope his story provides encouragement for Hanyangians embarking on new challenges.
