Hello World |
We Shine with quiet, shy dreams.
Just like a brilliant star.
Who is Hotaru
Hotaru is a creator with the most intense dreams of anyone. He cherishes his shy fantasies that others might find ridiculous and leads Team ShyStella to bring them to life.
With a deep love for AI technology and programming, he calls himself a Tech Otaku.
He especially values the moments when emotions and technology are in harmony, and is constantly researching to create AI with human-like emotions.
He was born in South Korea and was an active and exemplary student in his younger years, but an unexpected health issue forced him to drop out of high school, and after recovering, he entered college early and gained a wide range of knowledge centered on IT.
He is currently studying abroad in Japan, and is taking steps toward his dream of fusing technology and art. His journey is far from over, but he will not stop until the day his shy dreams light up the world.
Demerit to Merit
He had a disadvantage in life when he had to drop out of high school due to poor health. However, he turned that experience into an advantage by entering university early and began building a strong foundation in IT and language studies.
Enjoy the learning
At the age of six, he was inspired by a video game and instantly knew he wanted to create one himself. That childhood spark led him to teach himself how to code, and through years of self-driven learning, he has grown into a passionate and capable developer.
Global Perspective
Born as the grandson of a Zainichi Korean, he grew up in Korea, attended a university specializing in foreign languages, and developed multicultural sensitivity. He is currently studying abroad in Japan, and his experience growing up in different cultures and languages has made his mindset more flexible and global.
