Summary
We embrace all the colors and hues of our community and look ahead to future excellence.” Also known as “UNFO,” the exclusive black-tie event hosts more than 700 API professionals and high-profile names each year. Takashi Cheng, Co-Founder of Society 1, was quoted as saying, “As a Los Angeles local, I’ve watched Character Media grow a modest organization into a sanctuary for API creators and talent. Society 1 is committed to preserving the ethos of their mission as we raise the profile of the Unforgettable Gala.” James Ryu added, “Our combination is coming at a time when our communities are facing challenges with visibility and inclusion in media. Society 1 also recently backed GoldenTV, an API-centric streaming platform and supporting virtual community built to connect stakeholders and develop original content. Now supported by parent company Society 1, Character traces its roots back to 1990, when publisher James Ryu launched a print operation that grew into two publications: the award-winning KoreAm Journal and Audrey Magazine.
