■ About the CEO Audition

The CEO Audition is an audition to produce CEOs, with the concept that "anyone can become a CEO." This project focuses on discovering and producing the personality and behavioral characteristics of the individual CEO through the audition, rather than on the CEO's experience or business plan. In the first CEO Audition held in 2022, approximately 700 people from all over the country applied to become CEOs.
