Sinji (pronounced “shinjee”) was a lieutenant of Tangun, the first king of Korea in around 3,000 BC, and his mission was to relay communications between the king and his people. In the absence of a written script, he invented one. Sinji dates from ancient history, all Koreans will recognise the name. Sinji symbolises the human intellectual, and he can be considered to be the original Korean IT developer.
Nigel Cowie, a director of Phoenix Commercial Ventures Ltd, was Chairman of the board of Sinji and Ken Frost was also on the board.
