Dr. POPO is a board-certified plastic surgeon and Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at Pusan National University in South Korea, but his creativity extends far beyond the operating room. With a keen appreciation for aesthetics, he found himself drawn to the world of AI video creation. His work focuses on smooth, immersive storytelling and the use of repetition and symmetry—elements just as vital in his videos as they are in his medical practice.

He is currently represented by the global AI artist agency “MADE BY HUMANS,” and also serves as a partner creator for “Carat,” a leading generative AI content platform in his home country. His groundbreaking approach was further recognized in the 2025 Generative AI Video category of the “AI Design Award (AIDA),” where he earned the title “Winner of the AI Design Award 2025.”

“As AI creation becomes increasingly dominated by experts,” Dr. POPO notes, “I’d rather remain an ‘amateur’—free to experiment, fail, and laugh at unexpected results.” It’s exactly that sense of freedom that sets his work apart and propels him on a journey he calls “Vision Beyond Beauty,” aiming not just for aesthetics but for a deeper, boundary-defying experience.

For Dr. POPO, the real magic happens when he listens to music and transforms whatever images come to mind into video form. He believes this year marks a turning point—one in which AI art will not only overtake traditional drawing styles but become the mainstream for the next hundred years. As AI art continues to grow, he’s excited to see where it will take him and remains committed to exploring new possibilities, all while staying true to his unique perspective.
