At the same time, Kaokaoping Musical Instruments launched its proprietary brand — KKP.

Originally working in the engineering field by day and running the instrument business at night and on holidays, Mr. Chuang gradually shifted his full attention to Kaokaoping Musical Instruments as the company gained industry recognition.
To ensure continued innovation and leadership, he officially stepped down from the construction sector and focused entirely on music.
He also took on the role of President of the Kaohsiung Musical Instrument Industry Association, injecting new energy and leadership into Taiwan’s music sector.
