Connectivity Lab

Ian Hyukjong Yeo is the Director of Connectivity Lab and a telecommunications entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the global telecom industry. Prior to founding telecom ventures, he spent over eight years as a research fellow at the Korea Information Society Development Institute (KISDI), a government-funded research institute specializing in telecommunications policy and industry analysis. Today, he leads Connectivity Lab's research and field benchmarking initiatives evaluating real-world eSIM performance for international travelers. Since 2026, he has focused on establishing independent field benchmarks for traveler connectivity in major destinations such as Korea and Japan. Under his leadership, Connectivity Lab publishes verified network performance insights based on on-site testing and real-world usage scenarios. Through these initiatives, Connectivity Lab aims to provide travelers with reliable network intelligence and make high-speed mobile connectivity predictable, transparent, and accessible worldwide.

Soorim Go is the Head of Network Data Science at Connectivity Lab, where she oversees field data acquisition, network performance measurements, and the refinement of connectivity datasets. Her work focuses on capturing real-world mobile network behavior through on-site testing and signal analysis across high-density urban environments and major travel destinations. By collecting and structuring field data, she transforms complex signal metrics into clear and reliable benchmarks used in Connectivity Lab's weekly and monthly reports. Through her analytical approach, Connectivity Lab ensures that network performance insights are based on verified measurements rather than theoretical estimates, helping travelers better understand real-world connectivity conditions.

Jihyun Bae serves as the Chief Technical Editor at Connectivity Lab, overseeing the editorial synthesis and publication of the lab's research reports. She specializes in transforming complex technical datasets and field measurement results into structured, accessible insights for a global audience. Working closely with the data and research team, she ensures that network performance findings are clearly communicated while maintaining strict editorial and analytical standards. Through her work, Connectivity Lab's research is translated into high-quality reports that provide travelers with practical, trustworthy connectivity intelligence.

Jennie Jeong leads Connectivity Infrastructure at Connectivity Lab, overseeing the procurement and maintenance of native test lines and network assets used in field testing. She is responsible for building and maintaining the technical environment that enables accurate, real-world connectivity measurements across different countries. By coordinating with local carriers and managing testing infrastructure, she ensures the reliability and consistency of Connectivity Lab's cross-border network performance evaluations. Her work provides the essential infrastructure required for precise, non-roaming mobile network analysis.

Kyuwon Lim serves as a Research Advisor to Connectivity Lab, providing expert guidance to support the objectivity and technical rigor of the lab's research. She contributes to the validation of testing methodologies and the review of network performance analysis, helping ensure that Connectivity Lab's findings meet high standards of accuracy and professional integrity. Through her advisory role, she supports the lab's mission to deliver reliable and transparent connectivity intelligence for the global travel community.
