Samsung Electronics announced on the 28th that it released a short film 'Gift' which was produced with the story of young people's StartUp.
Samsung Electronics has presented this film to support many young people who are working for the future and growing their dreams.
'Gift' is a thermal camera 'Ignis' used for rescue in the fire scene by donating 'C Lab Outside' and 'Samsung Electronics', a program that helps Samsung Electronics discover and grow innovative prospective entrepreneurs and StartUp.
The 43-minute-long film was released free of charge on YouTube, Facebook and online portal sites. It will also be released through three IPTV companies, including Ole TV, BTV and U + TV, and video service platform Wave, which will be available in Asiana Airlines in-flight movies from December.
A special screening was held at the entrance of Lotte Cinema Counter in Seoul, with about 400 people including director Hur Jin-ho, Actor Shin Ha-kyun, Suho, Kim Seul-gi, Yoo Soo-bin and movie production crew.
"Gift" tells the story of a young entrepreneur, Sang-gu (Shin Ha-kyun), who came from 1969, 50 years ago, to the present, who is struggling to create a thermal imaging camera, meeting with the young entrepreneurs, Suho, Kim Seul-gi, and Young-bok (Yoo Soo-bin) to help. It's a "timeslip" film that goes back and forth between the past and the present.
The lead Actor Shin Ha-kyun said, "It is a movie that can be as powerful as a surprise Gift when young people try to achieve their dreams. This movie also made young people very hard, "he said." Please enjoy it. "
Actor Suho, leader of the group EXO, said, "The material itself is more meaningful because it is the Top Model of youth, and I feel rewarded for participating." "I will always support youths who are doing a wonderful Top Model at this time."
"I wanted to show a lot of bright elements in general as a movie that supports young people, while showing the joys that young people experience while starting a business," said Hur Jin-ho.
Jung Jae-woong, managing director of Samsung Electronics Communications Team, said, "This film is a social contribution vision of Samsung Electronics, which means that we will actively support people's unique potential capabilities as much as possible. "Samsung Electronics will continue to do various activities that will help young people achieve their dreams," he added.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics has released four short films, including "Gift," starting with "Two Lights" in 2017, "Byeolli Island" in 2018 and "Memoryz" in 2019.
In August last year, Samsung Electronics announced that it would foster 500 internal and external StartUp tasks, including 300 external StartUp projects and 200 support for in-house employees' StartUp tasks (C Lab Insides) through 'C Lab Outside' over the next five years in order to contribute to strengthening the domestic StartUp entrepreneurial ecosystem as part of 'economic revitalization and job creation plan'.
Since October last year, we have expanded the scope of Outside StartUp to all ICT fields in the mobile field and operate 'C Lab Outside'.
The thermal camera 'Ignis' is a product that started with the idea of the team of current firefighters through 'Samsung Lions Tomorrow Solution', a competition that anyone who wants to make a better world can participate.
Samsung Electronics decided that it contributed greatly to society, so that employees could participate in technology development through 'C Lab Inside', and donated 1,000 'ignice' to fire stations nationwide in November 2017.
