HOYA’s FULL CONTROL Lens Provides Innovative Solution for Everyday Protection of the Eyes for Singaporeans

SINGAPORE Media OutReach – 14 October 2022 – HOYA Vision Care, the global leader in optical technology innovation, had successfully launched its FULL CONTROL coating for eyewear lenses in the past year, providing the average Singaporeans with an all-in-one solution to protect the eyes against everyday environmental hazards.

With the gradual return to offices after working from home for so long, many Singaporeans are back in the office, which helps in improved connection with their team members, leading to more effective brainstorming, increased productivity, and team synergy. But, this also means the need to work on computers while working in the office, prolonging their exposure to blue light.

For some Singaporeans, protecting their eyes from the sun is less a priority, especially white-collar workers who often head out for lunch when the UV rays are the strongest. Upon heading back to the office, they have to face their computers, which means dealing with more blue light.

With the reopening of businesses and the return of various recreation activities to the island, most Singaporeans risk exposing themselves to bacteria, especially during their commute, while they’re eating out, or being outdoors in general.

While these environmental factors are unavoidable, HOYA FULL CONTROL lens provides an all-in-one solution against these hazards.

Through HOYA’s advanced research and technological capabilities, the FULL CONTROL coating is characterised by a combination of HOYA’s four signature lens coatings, namely, Hi-Vision LongLife (HVLL), BlueControl, UV Control and Hi-Vision Anti-Bacterial. This makes FULL CONTROL the first-of-its-kind lens in HOYA’s product offerings.

HOYA’s premium Hi-Vision LongLife multi-layer lens coating offers significant lens durability that maintains HOYA’s excellent visual performance for years, as it is anti-reflective, scratch resistant, and repellent to oil, water and dust.

As Singaporeans are prone to spending long hours on their digital devices such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, this inevitably increases their exposure to blue light and glare. Extensive exposure can also lead to eye strain, fatigue, and even sleeplessness.

With HOYA’s trademark BlueControl treatment, it can help to reduce the effect of harmful blue light by reflecting it away and minimising the glare from digital screens while enhancing the contrast for a more comfortable and relaxed vision.

Besides, Singapore is located near the equator, which means Singaporeans are constantly exposed to harmful UV rays with higher levels of UV radiation. With HOYA’s UV Control, wearers enjoy the ultimate UV protection on the front and back surfaces of the lens while decreasing their risk of UV-related eye damage and diseases.

Being outdoors means Singaporeans have to protect themselves from what their eyes can’t see – bacteria. It is all around; on handlebars, door knobs, and even smartphones. To ensure all-rounded total protection, HOYA’s Hi-Vision Anti-Bacterial Coating consists of silver ions (AG+), which are applied on both the front and back surfaces of the lens to control bacterial growth, rendering the bacteria unable to divide. This coating is tested under strict standards* and has been proven to be highly effective and long-lasting in reducing and slowing down bacterial growth by at least 99.9%**.

With HOYA FULL CONTROL lens, it is capable of providing an all-in-one solution for eye protection against various environmental hazards.

In conjunction with the successful launch of HOYA Vision Care’s FULL CONTROL coating for eyewear lenses in the past year, the global leader in optical technology innovation is offering customers a piece of complimentary lens cloth with every pair of FULL CONTROL stock lenses purchase (while stocks last).

Find out more about HOYA’s FULL CONTROL coating at our official website or head to the nearest authorised HOYA retailers in Singapore.

Full Control consists of the following HOYA coating products: Hi-Vision LongLife, BlueControl, UV Control and Hi-Vision Anti-Bacterial

*Based on BOKEN Quality Evaluation Institute’s anti-bacterial activity value test results (Staphylococcus aureus and E.coli)*

**Tested according to ISO 22196 and certified by The Society of International Sustaining Growth for Antimicrobial Articles (SIAA) standards

Finn Avenue To Unveil Two New Collection Launches By Year End

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 October 2022 – Finn Avenue will be releasing, by the end of the year, two new collection launches consisting of new cabinets, accent chairs, coffee tables, and many other furniture.

The first collection launch, which will be released in less than a week, will consist of Finn Avenue’s new line of sideboards and cabinets that will feature high-quality handcrafted natural mother of pearl shells. Some of the furniture and accessories in this line include Perla 2 Door Cabinet Sideboard, Perla 4 Door TV Console Sideboard, Nacre Round Wall Mirror, Harbour 3 Door Walnut Sideboard, and more. Each piece of furniture in this collection launch will feature the use of natural mother of pearl shells, which are known for their distinct beauty and iridescent effect. The highlight of this line of furniture is that every piece is uniquely designed to have its own look without looking identical to another.

This is due to the unique nature of each mother of pearl shell being used – the material, just like a human’s thumbprint, has its own visual texture and imperfection. Furthermore, every piece of furniture is handcrafted and hand painted by an artisan, which adds to the uniqueness and charm of the end product.

Besides the first line of furniture collection, Finn Avenue will also be releasing a second collection launch, consisting of accent chairs and stools, coffee tables, side tables, and bar trollies, among others, at the end of the year. They are also in the making of curating new rug collections to introduce Singaporeans to unique, vibrant, and new rug designs. Through these collection launches, Finn Avenue hopes to extend its comprehensive range of affordable, luxurious furniture and introduce homeowners to new design choices.

Finn Avenue is a furniture shop in Singapore that specialises in quality, affordable designer furniture, such as European, French, Art Deco, Modern Luxe, and Victorian, among others. With both an online and physical shop, their luxury furniture are designed to fit into one’s home regardless of its style. From designer rugs and sofas to vanity table sets and even accessories and décor, such as cushions, home fragrances, and décor flowers, Finn Avenue’s extensive range of home styling pieces are all individually sourced, manufactured, and assembled from scratch, each handcrafted by experienced craftsman. Through Finn Avenue’s two new furniture collections, they aspire to bring forward more furniture shopping choices for a homeowner to spruce up their living space according to their preferred style.

Alternatively, individuals may also visit their showroom at Henderson Road, where it is specially designed so that it allows one to experience how their furniture will look in a home setting.

The rise of Korean as an in-demand foreign language in Singapore; Sejong Korean Language School takes Korean language beyond the K-Wave trend

What was thought as a passing trend, became a trendy and sensational niche with K-Wave becoming more popular amongst this generation. Sejong Korean Language School has gone beyond the hype to establish a systematic learning method for students to develop good foundation.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 October 2022 – Sejong Korean Language School was founded by Ryan Kwak Seong Hoon, a native Korean, 10 years ago when the trend of K-Pop or the “Hallyu Wave” was on the rise. While the initial crowd of students were drawn to the Korean language because of K-Drama and K-Pop, reasons for learning the language now span much more than being able to understand movies and singing songs. Fluency in Korean language has since become a useful tool in serving professionals, businesses, and other industries in terms of facilitating international relations or to enhance one’s personal skillsets.

The K-wave has become a tsunami with presence felt in almost every industry – from fashion to electronics, construction, beauty, media, to F&B. The K-Wave has grown beyond a trendy niche market to a mainstay in Singapore’s economy and Korean language centres in Singapore have seen a steady uptick in demand for Korean language courses over the years. Sejong Korean Language School is one school that has enjoyed particular popularity with waitlist for new classes often more than a month long. The school titles itself one of the largest language schools in Singapore. With three campuses island-wide, over a thousand active students attending weekly on-campus and online classes, and an impressive list of corporate clients including local banks, law firms, airlines and MNCs.

Founder Ryan Kwak shared that while he is certainly grateful that the K-Wave has solidified its position as more than just a passing trend, he had in fact saw the relevancy of Korean language as having the potential to go beyond the K-Wave from the very beginning. Because of that vision, he took decisive steps to limit his school’s reliance on the K-Wave. As early as 10 years ago, Ryan noted that many Korean language programmes promote their courses by marketing them as K-Pop Lyrics classes, or K-Drama classes. Instead, Ryan says he believed in the upcoming relevancy of the language itself. “I did not want to teach Korean language through song lyrics or drama subtitles. The grammar used there can be quite challenging for learners and should not be the starting point into the language. Students need to learn the language systematically to develop a good foundation. There is so much that Korean language and culture has to offer.”

Ryan instead focused on developing Korean language courses that drew on what he saw as a rare advantage unique to him due to his life experiences. As a native Korean whose family migrated to Singapore at a young age, Ryan has studied at various International Schools in Singapore before transferring to a Singaporean local school. He believes that being a native Korean who is also familiar with how Singaporeans, and other non-native speakers of Korean language learn, gives him a one-of-a-kind edge in building and developing the most effective Korean language class.

“I have utmost faith in the course I developed and am still continuing to develop. I am always hopeful that people would see the value in the “best Korean course” for actually learning the language over a K-Pop or K-Drama centric course.”

According to Ryan, despite his efforts to reduce the reliance of the school’s courses from the K-Wave where possible, majority of his early batches of students were motivated to learn Korean because they were interested in K-Pop or Korean dramas. However, as the 5-star Google and Facebook reviews, and plethora of personal testimonials from their strong student community collectively attested to the quality of the school, learners with a wider variety of motivations started joining the school. The vision of developing a more in-depth Korean language course that was not directly related to the K-Wave gimmicks soon became a reality.

Now, only about half of the school’s new students profess to learn Korean purely for interest. Every year, an increasing percentage claim to be learning for work, up-skilling purposes, or business related reasons. As the K-Wave evolves from “trend” to a market force to be reckoned with, picking up Korean language has never been more relevant. A casual verbal survey of the students in Sejong Korean Language School revealed the diversity of industries learning Korean is relevant to.

“We have students from big beauty MNCs, food importers, banks, law firms, entertainment firms, energy companies… Samsung, Hyundai, LG and Kia have always been well known, but now the Singaporeans know Etude House, Paris Baguette, even Ssang Yong, the construction company building our MRT lines… The story that surprised me was that a number of students from the fitness industry also shared that Seoul is the undisputed king of cross-fit in the region and that learning Korean is also relevant to those in the fitness line.”

The relevancy of learning Korean language has also been recognized by the Singapore government in recent years, with the launch of a market access programme between the Ministry of Manpower and Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore and South Korea. PM Lee Hsien Loong also previously announced that the Ministry of Education will be looking into offering Korean Language as a third language in local Singapore schools. Currently, Sejong Korean Language School is also an approved training provider by SkillsFuture Singapore, a government initiative to increase employability of Singaporeans.

Looking back, Ryan shares that, “even though it would have been easier, I’m glad we did not rely on the K-Wave in the beginning. Just like it is important for a student to start with a good foundation, it is important for a business to start with the right footing. We will continue putting in the effort to provide the best Korean language education possible to cater to all learners… K-Pop and K-Drama enthusiasts, and beyond that, the new generation of learners who learn Korean for its relevancy in today’s society. As long as we have a solid programme, it does not matter what brought you to us.”

Those looking to pick up Korean for work or business related reasons, to communicate with their Korean spouse or in-laws, or simply to be able to watch their favourite Korean dramas without subtitles may find out more about Sejong Korean Language School’s courses, including SkillsFuture claimable Korean courses at https://www.sejong.com.sg/
