Kim Bo-kyun was born on May 17, 1954, in Geumsan, Chungcheongnam-do, and graduated from Konkuk University.

After graduating from university, in 1983, he founded "Shinyoung Chemicals," the predecessor of Chemtronics, a company specializing in electronic components and chemical materials. In 2000, the company changed its name to Chemtronics, a combination of the words “chemistry” and “electronics.”

Chemtronics gained attention when it was selected as a supplier of components for Apple's next-generation display, the "Hybrid OLED."

Kim Bo-kyun is a typical manufacturing industry leader who describes manufacturing as a "comprehensive art."
