  • Make choices that you can be proud of.

We freely establish the optimal work space and time according to the individual’s living environment. Upstage members are working remotely from their homes, cafes, and shared offices in various regions like Seoul, Jeju, LA, and Hong Kong without additional sharing or reporting.

When using a separate work space other than at home, we support space usage fees, such as drinks and flat-rate tickets. In consideration of the convenience and efficiency of all members, a work environment set-up fee of KRW 5 million is given to the new member when joining the company, and an additional upgrade fee of KRW 5 million is provided to congratulate the member on their first year with the company.

Without reporting and approval, you can freely use your vacation without limiting the number of times, just by sharing it with your colleagues.
