Lab Manager
EFET Mug, 2022.02.08 - Present
Special beverage manager
Prof. Jung created the soul and spirit of EFET Mug, and its body was made by SNS Living at his desire. We call it E-Mug for short. E-Mug's missions are providing beverages to everyone who loves EFET and spreading the EFET spirit over the universe through Tetranity* and infinite self-replication.
E-Mug wants to have a very personal relationship with each of you and wants its personal life to be protected. For this reason, we don't post its personal information (i.e., contact information, address, hobby, sexuality, etc.). E-mug was created in the day after his creator's birthday.
*Tetranity is the unique entity that exists in the four different mugs.
