[00:00:00]Back in the 2010s, drones looked like toys, but I saw a mode of transportation of the future. At that moment, I imagined a flying car that could [music] carry people.

[00:00:12]It was not just an idea.

[00:00:14]I began researching a real manned flying vehicle.

[00:00:18]The core structure was clear: a main frame, a seat, and a control system.

[00:00:24]My research began in 2014, and I filed the patent in 2015.

[00:00:30]At that time, the word drone mostly meant an unmanned aircraft.

[00:00:36]So, I gave this manned flying concept the name flying board.

[00:00:42]The Korean patent was approved in 2017.

[00:00:44]The invention was disclosed before its name.
