CJ S. Chun
Founder & CEO
"Creating new value through cross-cultural creative vision."
Chanjun Chun AKA CJ Chun is a veteran of the global VFX industry, possessing a unique cross-cultural perspective that defines the creative vision of Krave Agent. Born and raised in South Korea, Chanjun’s journey began in the heart of Seoul’s media landscape before he moved to New York to major in Computer Art at the School of Visual Arts (SVA).
His career is a testament to a decade of excellence at world-renowned studios. Before founding Krave Agent in 2026, he served as a CG Supervisor and Head of APAC Business Relations at Crafty Apes (NYC), where he led high-end visual effects for major Hollywood productions and global brand campaigns and building relations between western and eastern vfx houses and clients. His deep expertise was further refined through key roles at legendary New York houses such as Framestore and Molecule VFX.
The Genesis of Krave Agent: From Artist to Architect
The founding of Krave Agent in 2026 marked Chanjun’s transition from a master of technical execution to a strategic architect of the industry’s future. Recognizing a gap in the market for a studio that could bridge the stylistic nuances of Eastern aesthetics with the rigorous production standards of the West, he established Krave Agent as a sanctuary for "technical-artistic" hybridity.
As CEO, Chanjun does more than oversee operations; he acts as the primary bridge between visionary storytelling and technological feasibility. Under his leadership, the agency has moved beyond service-based artistry to become a collaborative partner and strategic agent in the storytelling process. He has pioneered a model that prioritizes agility and creative advocacy, setting a new benchmark for how global studios operate in a post-digital era.
A Global Foundation
Chanjun’s professional roots are deeply embedded in both the Western and Eastern VFX ecosystems. Prior to his tenure in New York, he gained invaluable experience working within South Korea’s most prestigious broadcast and film networks, including MBC, KBS, and the pioneering VFX house MOFAC.
