SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLASSYS (KOSDAQ: 214150), a global medical aesthetics platform company, announced the appointment of Dr. Taek-Soo Kim, a distinguished technology management expert, as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Head of Research and Development.
CLASSYS continues to recruit and develop world-class talent while bolstering its capabilities across technology, business and global operations to support its global expansion. The appointment of Dr. Taek-Soo Kim as CTO reflects the company's commitment to strengthening its global technology leadership and preparing for its next phase of growth.
Last month, CLASSYS launched its "Next Stage" growth strategy with the appointment of Jun-oh Yoon, former Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics, as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). With Dr. Kim joining to execute that strategy within the R&D organization, the company plans to accelerate technological innovation and the development of next-generation products centered on AI, software, and data.
Dr. Kim plans to combine CLASSYS's established energy-based device (EBD) technologies with its extensive clinical and procedural data, applying AI to drive development of next-generation products designed to reshape the market. In particular, he will systematically incorporate feedback from clinicians and key opinion leaders (KOLs) across major global markets into the R&D process. This approach will enhance treatment efficacy, usability, safety, and the overall user experience, enabling CLASSYS to lead the global market with differentiated medical aesthetics technologies and solutions that meet market and customer expectations.
Furthermore, Dr. Kim's track record of leading large-scale R&D transformation initiatives at leading global technology organizations is expected to accelerate the implementation of CEO Yoon's global-standard management systems across the R&D organization. Through rigorous risk management and agile execution, CLASSYS will continue building a more agile and efficient R&D culture.
A CLASSYS spokesperson said, "While CEO Jun-oh Yoon combined an engineer's deep technical expertise with a strategist's global perspective to help drive Samsung's growth, CTO Taek-Soo Kim helped lead R&D transformation and technology innovation at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), the company's premier advanced research organization. Together, their strengths are expected to help CLASSYS redefine the global medical aesthetics industry and establish itself as a top-tier global company."

CLASSYS Appoints Former Samsung Electronics and Vuno Executive Dr. Taek-Soo Kim as Chief Technology Officer, Accelerating Its Evolution into a Global Medical Aesthetics Technology Company
TOKYO, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- UWANT, an innovative smart cleaning appliance brand, has officially launched its latest V700 Pro Self-Emptying Vacuum Cleaner on Japan's leading crowdfunding platform Makuake. To celebrate the launch, V700 Pro will be available with a limited-time 50% OFF discount during the first 72 hours.
Following the success of UWANT V800, which achieved the highest historical GMV in Makuake's vacuum cleaner category, UWANT continues to innovate with V700 Pro — a lightweight, maintenance-free vacuum cleaner designed for modern Japanese households.
Traditional vacuum cleaners often face challenges such as hair and pet fur becoming tangled around roller brushes, heavy designs that make daily cleaning tiring, and frequent manual dust disposal that may cause secondary dust exposure.
To address these issues, UWANT V700 Pro features UWANT's proprietary Sweep Vibration Technology, delivering a new cleaning experience with enhanced hair tangle prevention and effortless maintenance.
Key Features of UWANT V700 Pro
1.Zero-Tangle Sweep Vibration Brush
V700 Pro adopts the same Zero-Tangle Sweep Vibration Brush Technology as the flagship V800. Unlike traditional rotating brushes that easily trap long hair and pet fur, UWANT's vibration cleaning system helps prevent hair wrapping and reduces the need for frequent manual cleaning.
2.Ultra-Lightweight Design — Only 1.04kg
Designed for Japanese home environments and everyday cleaning needs, V700 Pro weighs only 1.04kg, approximately equivalent to two 500ml water bottles, allowing users to clean more comfortably with less effort.
3.Maintenance-Free Cleaning System
V700 Pro is equipped with UWANT's self-developed HEPA Vibration Self-Cleaning Technology, which helps reduce dust accumulation on the filter and maintain stable suction performance. The Sweep Vibration Brush uses a specially designed scraper structure to automatically remove trapped debris and hair. Its all-in-one base station features a 1.5L antibacterial dust bag, supporting up to approximately 90 days of hands-free maintenance.
The vacuum also features a 150° Wide-Angle Green Light Dust Detection System, making invisible fine dust visible for more thorough cleaning. With its 180° flat-reach cleaning design, V700 Pro can access spaces as low as 11cm under furniture, while edge-to-edge cleaning helps reduce hard-to-reach areas.
Combining zero-tangle technology, ultra-lightweight design, intelligent dust detection, and automatic maintenance features, UWANT V700 Pro delivers a smarter and more convenient cleaning solution for Japanese households.
UWANT V700 Pro is now available exclusively on Makuake Japan with a 72-hour limited 50% OFF launch offer.
