Thank you for always using cizucu.

Thanks to your warm support, cizucu, which launched last spring, has reached its first anniversary. We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude.

At this important milestone, let's look back at the memorable first photo contest that symbolizes cizucu.

A Step Towards Innovation: 'Elevate cizucu Community'

The cizucu-hosted photo contest 'Elevate cizucu Community' was held during a time when cizucu was still largely unknown and before its official release.

The concept of this photo contest was to perceive cizucu as a place for free expression, allowing everyone to express themselves through photography to their heart's content. At that time, the majority of participants were friends and acquaintances of the operating members, enjoying the submissions.

Looking back, the initial photo contest was much more modest compared to the current ones, but it was a moment when our planned content took shape, making it a very important event for us.

Even though there were hardly any creators who knew about cizucu, having people like Jang Kumi, who is still serving as an ambassador, participate was a great encouragement for us, and it made us realize the potential of creativity that we couldn't achieve on our own.

One Year with the Community and the Future Ahead

Through 'Elevate cizucu Community', we reaffirmed our commitment to launching as a service, and a few weeks later, we achieved the official release of the iOS app.
Now, one year since the launch, we feel immense joy every time we witness the wonderful works created and posted by everyone daily.

Over the past year, we have experienced significant changes and growth, including hosting contests with sponsoring companies and official curators, publishing interview articles and 'Spotlight' articles in the magazine, and more.

While there are still many issues and we are in the development stage, we will continue to grow significantly with everyone. Each member will do their utmost to meet your expectations. We look forward to your continued support of cizucu!
