    Yonsei University Student Creator Case Study

    Yonsei runs decentralized creator teams across SNS Press Corps, YCAM, and YGC — UpperClass unifies their multi-channel reach in one analytics dashboard.

    Section 01

    History and Origin

    Yonsei's program highlights the power of student-led digital communication on a global scale. In 2026, Yonsei's official Instagram account became the first university page in South Korea to pass 500,000 followers, ranking eighth among the top 50 universities globally, alongside institutions like Harvard, Oxford, and MIT.

    Operational Framework and Methodology

    This achievement is driven by Yonsei's Media Center, which supports several student-run promotional groups, including the SNS Press Corps, YCAM (Photojournalists), and Blue Messenger (Student News Team). Under the Media Center's decentralized model, students independently plan, film, and edit their own content, maintaining a high publishing cadence of more than one post per day.

    To support international recruitment, Yonsei runs the Yonsei Global Creators (YGC) program, composed of international students who produce localized content for the university's English-language account (@yonsei_global).

    Program Results and Current Status

    YGC's videos have generated over 7.93 million cumulative views and 430,000 likes.

    A major milestone was the "Yonsei Timelapse Project," Korea's first university-wide collaborative visual campaign involving over 400 international students.

    The Scale Bottleneck

    Managing multiple decentralized teams (SNS Press Corps, YCAM, YGC) across different languages and platforms leads to fragmented asset storage and zero unified data analytics.
