Amagi appoints Hyukmo Mun to lead cloud broadcast growth in Korea
MUMBAI: The cloud is rolling over Korea and it’s bringing Amagi with it. The cloud-based SaaS powerhouse for broadcast and streaming TV has announced the appointment of Hyukmo Mun as sales director for Korea, marking another bold step in its expansion across East and Southeast Asia.
In his new role, Hyukmo will lead Amagi’s business growth in Korea, while also fuelling opportunities in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam, a region fast becoming the epicentre of cloud-led broadcast transformation.
With more than 18 years in the media and broadcast trenches, Hyukmo’s credentials are as solid as they come. From helping Korean broadcasters embrace advanced video compression at ATEME, to spearheading AI-powered cloud migration at Megazone Cloud, he’s been at the frontline of broadcast evolution.
Now, at Amagi, Hyukmo’s mission is clear to help broadcasters and content owners transition to cloud-native playout and monetisation models that promise agility, efficiency, and new revenue streams in an increasingly digital-first world.
“I’m thrilled to join Amagi at a time when broadcasters and content owners in Asia are accelerating their move to the cloud,” said Amagi sales director for Korea Hyukmo Mun. “With Amagi’s deep expertise in cloud-native broadcast and monetisation, I look forward to helping customers modernise operations, improve agility, and unlock new revenue opportunities.”
Welcoming the appointment Amagi senior vice president for Asia Pacific Jay Ganesan noted, “Hyukmo’s appointment reinforces our commitment to the Korean and broader Asia Pacific markets. His extensive experience across broadcast, IPTV, and cloud transformation makes him an invaluable addition as we expand Amagi’s footprint and support customers in their journey toward next-generation cloud broadcasting.”
Founded in 2008, Amagi has become a global force in cloud-based media delivery powering over 7,000 channel deliveries and enabling 26 billion ad impressions worldwide. From traditional broadcasters to next-gen streamers, the company is redefining how content travels from studio to screen.
For Amagi, the addition of Hyukmo isn’t just another leadership move, it’s a strategic acceleration. As Asia’s broadcasters race to modernise, Amagi’s mix of cloud innovation and local expertise could make it the region’s go-to tech ally.
Looks like the Korean wave just got a cloud upgrade and Amagi is ready to ride it.
