We were invited as a speaker at the 2025 Hongik University Visual Communication Department's joint exhibition (SISO), where we had the opportunity to share insights on Grid and our personal work under the title <Evolving Perspectives: Seven Attitudes to Consider>.
Hanwha Eagles, a championship team with a rich history and legacy, celebrates its 40th anniversary with a bold new leap forward. Extending the “RIDE THE STORM” brand identity, Grid’s campaign film draws parallels between the team’s resilience and an eagle soaring higher through the heart of a storm. It captures the determination of the team and its players to overcome challenges and reach new heights, inspiring fans along the way.
Hanwha Life Esports claimed their first-ever championship as the 2024 LCK Summer Split Champions, marking a historic milestone eight years after their rebranding.

Grid’s creative director, Sang Mun, participated in "Seed Pods of Democracy" Poster Project, launched to commemorate the opening of the National Museum of Korean Democracy. This project aimed to collect and preserve works on democratic movements and human rights, and to promote and share issues related to these themes. By using the poster format, the project explored how visual language can promote democracy and human rights.

Grid was invited to offer feedback on the portfolios of Seoul National University students. Additionally, we had the opportunity to share our insights on Work Ethics, Work Processes, and Work Environments.
A day trip to Jeju Island for field research on our upcoming project, we found ourselves conducting in-car and street meetings with clients to accommodate our tight schedules. Good times.
For three consecutive days, we immersed ourselves in both indoor and outdoor settings, capturing captivating moments for the upcoming EAGLE photo & video shoot amidst the untamed landscapes of Bali, Indonesia. Stay tuned for more exciting updates. Semangat!
Grid held a workshop in the island of Bali, Indonesia. The workshop took place from May 7—10, serving as a gathering to foster collaboration and reach a consensus on the company's vision for the future. Bali's serene and vibrant environment provided an ideal setting for the participants to engage in productive discussions and creative brainstorming.
The visit to Jakarta aimed to understand EAGLE's customers and establish a connection with them. It involved exploring their demographics, lifestyles, and daily routines. The objective was to foster an ongoing dialogue with diverse customers and future audiences.

Sang Mun presented a talk at the 21st Korean Society of Typography Conference, focusing on his ongoing work in the field of Typeface Design aimed at promoting awareness of personal information protection in the Digital Age. His presentation shed light on the ways in which typefaces can contribute to safeguarding sensitive data. Furthermore, Sang Mun's paper on the same subject was published in the LetterSeed 20, solidifying his contribution to the ongoing discourse on personal information security.
The UNPARASITE exhibition seeks to reestablish the significance of our living spaces and promote healing in our disrupted relationships, all in the spirit of "symbiosis." Count Down, an open source typeface, has been invited to be part of this dialogue. Count Down's primary objective is to raise awareness about the urgency of the climate crisis. Through its design, the typeface visually represents the impact of climate change by constantly transforming the letters into sets of eight variations. This approach highlights the fact that significant changes are occurring at this very moment. While using typography to address climate problems might not seem like a direct solution, it can be an effective medium to consistently shed light on the issue and bring awareness to the forefront.
Designs for Different Futures records the concrete ideas and abstract dreams of designers, artists, academics, and scientists exploring how design might reframe our futures, socially, ethically, and aesthetically. Encompassing nearly one hundred contemporary examples—from wearable objects to urban infrastructure—this handbook interrogates attitudes toward technology, consumption, beauty, and social and environmental challenges. The projects examined include a typeface unreadable by text-scanning software, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a dress incorporating the sound-wave patterns of birds in flight, a shelter for cricket farming, and a speculative prosthetics catalogue for the “post-human.” Designs for Different Futures is organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Design Notes is a show about creative work and what it teaches us, hosted by Liam Spradlin. In this episode, Liam speaks with interdisciplinary designer Sang Mun. In the interview, recorded in Seoul, South Korea, Liam and Sang explore how the ZXX typeface—which was born from Sang’s experience in special intelligence—helps us consider privacy and the nature of the information that shapes our lives, how accessible tools can empower users, and how to think about the practical constraints we all face as designers.
