0:00My mother raised my two brothers and me
0:02alone , and about 20 years ago ,
0:03Bangbae-dong was a neighborhood with a
0:05huge wealth gap . We naturally lived in
0:07a poor area , and I’d see other
0:09families where the mom could go to the
0:10hospital with money even when sick ,
0:12while my mom worried about not getting
0:13sick . So , I think I had a deep sense of
0:15deprivation regarding money . I actually
0:17had a lot of debt , too . This is an
0:19apartment in Cheongdam . This place is 1
0:21billion won for a 400 - square-meter unit
0:22.
0:22>> 400. Yes .
0:23>> I bought this building for about 9
0:25billion won , but the current appraisal
0:26is around 11 billion , right ? The total
0:30revenue for the first and second half
0:32of 2025 was 13 billion won from just
0:34one business . I basically don't choose
0:37businesses that don't generate profit
0:39within a month . It's the best side job
0:41I've found this year . I see a lot of
0:43new rich people these days . I feel like
0:46nine out of ten emerging rich people
0:49are flocking to this industry . Now is
0:52truly a huge blue ocean .
0:54>> I really hope you learn this and give
0:55it a try . Feel free to ask me anything
0:57you don't know . After doing this , I
0:58realized there's not much joy in just
1:00making money alone . Having everyone
1:01around me do well together . I think
1:03that's really important . Even I , who
1:05did manual labor throughout my 20s , now
1:07live in the best apartment in
1:08Cheongdam-dong . The door opens to those
1:11who knock . I hope you keep knocking on
1:13markets that hold opportunities .
1:21>> Hello .
1:22>> Hello .
1:24>> What are their names ? His name is
1:26Deokbae .
1:26>> Deokbae .
1:27>> And that one is Suji . He's a boy and
1:29she's a girl . They love people .
1:32>> Did you just wake up ?
1:33>> Yes . I just woke up . I haven't brushed
1:37my teeth yet , so could you please not
1:38get too close ?
1:39>> Understood .
1:40>> I take supplements in the morning .
1:42Where did the Vitamin C go ? My wife
1:44cleaned up for the shoot , so things
1:46have been moved around . Oh my , what
1:47happened ?
1:48>> Take these all at once for the day . All
1:49at once ?
1:50>> Yes . You take all of this at once .
1:52>> Wow , that's a lot .
1:54>> Deokbae .
1:55>> Hey , Deokbae .
1:56>> So cute .
1:57>> Come to think of it , you haven't
1:58introduced yourself yet , CEO . Could you
2:00introduce yourself ?
2:00>> My name is Jun No-jung . I’m
2:02generating over 10 billion won in
2:04annual revenue .
2:04>> That's why the house is so nice .
2:06>> This is an apartment in Cheongdam . They
2:10say Karina from Aespa lives here .
2:11>> Do you mean Karina from the group Aespa
2:13?
2:13>> Yes , Karina from Aespa and Shin
2:15Se-kyung also live here . In this
2:16complex ?
2:16>> Have you ever run into them ?
2:17>> Run into them ? No , of course not . I
2:19would like to see Shin Se-kyung , though
2:20.
2:21>> She is married .
2:22>> I’m not curious about that . I’m not
2:24curious , but ...
2:25>> Really .
2:25>> Pardon me , but how old are you , CEO ?
2:27>> I am 35 years old .
2:28>> You're young . When did you move here ?
2:30>> I think it was early this year .
2:32>> Did you buy it ?
2:33>> No. I definitely can't afford to buy it
2:34. It's way too expensive . The monthly
2:36rent is insane , too . This place is a 1
2:37billion won deposit and 4 million rent .
2:37>> 4 million ?
2:38>> Yes . 4 million won a month . You could
2:40do it too , PD .
2:40>> How ?
2:41>> It’s absolutely possible . I did it ,
2:42too .
2:43>> But 4 million won for rent is like a
2:44monthly salary .
2:45>> I suppose that’s true .
2:46>> What kind of work do you do to afford 4
2:47million a month ? I tend to take on a
2:49lot of different businesses . I
2:51challenge myself with about 20 to 30
2:53new side hustles or businesses a year .
2:55In my 20s , I did manual labor ,
2:57specifically carpentry work . I lived
2:59day-to-day on that paycheck to feed my
3:01family , and because I lived like that
3:03for nearly five years , when I pick a
3:05side hustle , I only choose ones that
3:07can show results tomorrow , this week ,
3:09or this month . I see many people
3:11starting side hustles looking a year or
3:12two ahead . People with plenty of money
3:14can do those kinds of businesses . But
3:16in my case , I started with almost no
3:18money , and I recently started one alone
3:19, which brought in 30 million won in
3:21revenue the first month , 60 million the
3:23second , 70 million the third , and now
3:25it's the fifth month , and it's at 260
3:27million . It's the best side hustle I've
3:29found this year . Let me show you what
3:30it is first . But could we go after I
3:31work out for a bit ?
3:32>> Shall we go after you work out ?
3:35>> Do you usually take supplements after
3:36working out ?
3:37>> I eat chicken breast , supplements , or
3:39beef , but I want to eat quickly today .
3:42>> Ah .
3:43>> What are you doing now ? I need to get
3:45ready for work , shall we go ?
3:46>> Did you actually change your clothes ?
3:47>> Yes . Why ?
3:48>> They look like the same clothes as
3:50before .
3:50>> When you look at me , there’s only one
3:51reason . The clothes are easy to wear
3:53without thinking .
3:53>> Hmm .
3:54>> It looks nice , right ?
3:55>> I guess dogs are allowed in the office .
3:57>> Yes . A dog is part of our company
3:59benefits . He’s practically an
4:01executive at our company .
4:02>> There are so many foreign cars here .
4:03>> But this place clears out completely by
4:05the morning . Everyone leaves very early
4:07at dawn . This is my car .
4:08>> Wait , isn't this a G-Wagon ? How much is
4:10it ?
4:10>> I think I bought it for a little over
4:11200 million won . Doesn't it suit me
4:12well ? Hmm . Shall we go ?
4:16>> Did you move to Seongnam because it's
4:18close to your office ?
4:19>> No. My wife asked to move here , and
4:20many of our acquaintances live here . We
4:22looked at the house while we were
4:24visiting , and my wife liked it so much
4:26that we decided to move here .
4:27>> You said the housing deposit was 1
4:29billion won . Did you have 1 billion won
4:31in cash ?
4:31>> It just accumulated while working hard .
4:33You can do it too .
4:34>> So , you made your fortune in the market
4:36, kept 6 billion won in cash , and
4:38bought buildings too ? I tend to buy
4:40quite a lot of buildings . I have one
4:41that I use as my personal office , and I
4:43have about seven more that I've
4:44purchased and hold the deeds for . I'll
4:46show you .
4:47>> Then is the office we're going to now
4:49your own office ?
4:50>> Yes , it's my office . It's this building
4:52. We bought this building for about 9
4:56billion won , and I heard the current
4:58valuation is around 11 billion won .
5:01>> That's amazing . Will the employees all
5:03be there when we go in ?
5:04>> Yes . They're all there right now .
5:06>> This is our office .
5:07>> Could I possibly interview the
5:09employees ?
5:09>> Yes . Go ahead and interview them here .
5:11>> What kind of work do you do ? Are you a
5:12designer ?
5:13>> Yes . That's correct .
5:14>> How is your job satisfaction ?
5:15>> 10 out of 10 .
5:17>> This is the friend I went running with
5:18early yesterday morning .
5:19>> Hello . We ran 3km at Pohang Park around
5:2212 midnight yesterday .
5:23>> As an employee , going running with the
5:25boss at midnight isn't exactly a great
5:27thing , is it ?
5:28>> Oh , is it ? Did you enjoy it ? Did you
5:30hate it ?
5:30>> I really enjoyed it . When else would I
5:31get a chance ?
5:32>> Were you forced ?
5:33>> No. Actually , I've already come home .
5:35>> So , how is your satisfaction ?
5:36>> I'd like to give it 120 points .
5:38>> Did they hand out a manual or something
5:39before filming started ?
5:40>> No , ask me too .
5:43>> How is your job satisfaction ?
5:44>> For me , maybe around 200 points .
5:46>> What's the maximum score ?
5:47>> 300 points .
5:49>> The atmosphere is incredibly free .
5:50>> It is pretty free . Let me show you the
5:53building documents . Wait , what's with
5:55all these Pokemon ? Why are there so
5:56many ? Pokemon .
5:57>> Oh , I love Pokemon . I like them too ,
5:59but this is really something . We
6:01currently hold eight buildings that
6:03we've purchased . These papers are worth
6:05over 10 billion won .
6:06>> You've seen a lot of them . You look
6:08very happy . Are you proud ? Just looking
6:10at them ...
6:11>> See you in a bit .
6:14>> The office is empty . Where did everyone
6:16go ? Here are our producers .
6:17>> Hello .
6:18>> How are you ?
6:19>> I met them three years ago while
6:21working on YouTube . They're really good
6:24at growing YouTube channels .
6:25>> What YouTube channel were you doing ? I
6:27ran a channel where I asked supercar
6:28owners for advice and asked about their
6:30jobs . It was ...
6:31>> Can I film for a second ? Could you
6:33share a word of advice for the viewers ?
6:36>> I was letting people know about these
6:37things while filming , and ...
6:38>> There are many channels like that now .
6:40But back then , this was the only one .
6:42It was the only one in Korea , and it
6:44was so shocking that I made sure to
6:47watch it whenever I could . This friend
6:49is someone who really sets their mind
6:51to it and grows a channel super fast .
6:52Yet , despite that , I quit YouTube and
6:54am doing this now . How much did you
6:56take home last time ? You have to be
6:57honest .
6:58>> About 40 to 50 million won .
6:58>> Didn't I tell you earlier ? I earned 30
7:00million won in the first month . But now
7:01, the second month was 60 million , the
7:03third month 70 million , then 130
7:05million , and in July , 260 million . It's
7:06almost doubling every time . To show you
7:08how much money is coming in , this is
7:09the volume of inquiries received today .
7:11That's four inquiries received just
7:12today . The revenue for this month so
7:14far is 56 million won . Since some might
7:15doubt me if I claim 10 billion won a
7:17month , I need to provide proof . As you
7:19can see , we have a total of three
7:20corporate businesses . We operate one
7:22corporation per floor , and fabricating
7:24VAT certificates is legally punishable .
7:26So , it's impossible to forge them .
7:28Looking at this : 100 , 1,000 , 10,000 ,
7:30100,000 , 1 million , 10 million , 100
7:32million , 1 billion — 5.3 billion in the
7:35first half of 2025 , and 8.2 billion in
7:37the second half , totaling about 13
7:39billion won from just one business . And
7:43there are two more businesses on the
7:44second floor that generated about 1
7:46billion , so please refer to the
7:48building documents we possess earlier .
7:50These can't be forged either .
7:52>> So , did you earn all of this through
7:53the side hustles or businesses you've
7:55been doing ?
7:55>> Of course . So now , I'm going to
7:58introduce the side hustle we do , and
8:00this is the Instagram platform .
8:02Instagram is a platform where a huge
8:04number of short videos like this are
8:06uploaded . Even in our country , over a
8:09million people post these daily , and
8:11the goal for those uploading these
8:13videos is to use them for their own
8:15businesses or for self-promotion . But
8:18the characteristic of this platform is
8:19that you have to upload consistently —
8:20ten videos a month , or fifteen ,
8:22whatever it may be . These people don't
8:23actually make all of these themselves .
8:25Our work involves connecting those who
8:27post these videos with freelance
8:29editors or creating the videos for them
8:31. For one such video , we typically
8:33charge anywhere from 250,000 won at the
8:35lowest to 500,000 won at the highest .
8:37But the cost we pay to the editors to
8:39edit them is just 30,000 won per video .
8:42Even at the most expensive , we can get
8:43it done for about 50,000 won . So ,
8:45you're left with a profit margin of
8:46200,000 to 400,000 won . That's what we
8:48take as our margin .
8:49>> To show you how easy these videos are
8:51to make :
8:51>> My scalp was the same , and they said
8:52it's because my scalp condition
8:54collapsed . Let's continue with scalp
8:56care .
8:56>> These days , AI is so advanced that if
8:58you input a script , it generates
8:59visuals like this . We don't even shoot
9:01all of these videos ourselves . The
9:02brand representatives film the footage
9:03and send it to us ; we just add the
9:05script , use AI for the voiceover ,
9:06combine them , add subtitles , and we're
9:08done .
9:08>> Among the things you receive every week
9:09or two , there's this management thing
9:11called " Indi-bar . " There’s no actual
9:12editing involved here . Just attaching
9:13this one part and adding subtitles is
9:14the end of it . If I want to add a bit
9:16more effect editing here , I can just do
9:18it ; we probably charged 400,000 won for
9:20this job . If I pay 30,000 to 50,000 won
9:22for editing , the remaining 350,000 won
9:24becomes my profit . But there are people
9:26who want to save on outsourcing costs
9:28for editors , right ? We’ll show you a
9:30program . Once the video is out , it
9:32automatically edits everything for you
9:33in a sequence . It doesn’t just do cut
9:35edits ; it handles everything from
9:37subtitles to effect editing
9:38automatically — look , the original
9:40video is lying sideways like this . And
9:42it needs to be turned upright , right ?
9:44Now , let’s try running this video
9:46through an automatic editor . When we
9:49put in that raw , unedited footage we
9:50just saw , the site opens Premiere ,
9:52brings in the video I selected , and as
9:54you can see , it has already rotated it
9:56vertically . If I press this confirm
9:58button in this state , look what happens
10:00.
10:00>> Wow ,
10:00>> Isn't it amazing ? It’s being edited
10:02right now .
10:03>> And now it’s finished . Shall we take
10:05a look ? From now on , I will show you
10:06how to make money with multiple
10:08accounts in 7 days .
10:09>> It even inserts these emojis
10:10automatically on its own . Actually ,
10:12when editing , these things take up the
10:14most time and effort , right ? But since
10:16it automatically searches for and
10:18brings in relevant footage to match the
10:20script , you don't really need to edit
10:22at all . We get a project for 300,000
10:24won and outsource it for 30,000 or
10:2650,000 won , and it usually takes a day
10:28or two to get five or ten drafts back ,
10:31but for this , the cost — since we use
10:33an API — is minimal . As you can see ,
10:351,400 won .
10:35>> 1,400 won .
10:36>> It only cost 1,400 won to make one
10:39video . So , there’s no need to entrust
10:40it to an outsourced editor anymore . It
10:41means you earn more money by creating
10:43the content others want to post . We
10:46don't have to show our faces , we don't
10:48need to know how to edit , we just act
10:49as the middleman connecting things , and
10:51we earn much more money than those
10:52YouTubers . And we earn it quickly .
10:54Because we start by receiving a down
10:56payment , that’s how we do it .
10:58>> They don't do it themselves ; they
10:59entrust it to me .
11:00>> These people are brand CEOs who
11:02generate 10 to 20 million won in
11:03revenue from a single video . Instead of
11:06spending time making these videos , they
11:07focus on selling more with their staff .
11:10Since one good video can easily bring
11:12in 10 million , 20 million , or even 100
11:13million to a billion won , they don't
11:15hesitate to pay us 250,000 won for one .
11:17>> So , does that mean we don't have to
11:18handle the planning or anything like
11:19that ? In this field , you can earn 1.5
11:21to 3 million won just by acting as an
11:23intermediary . If you start as an
11:24intermediary and learn to edit , you can
11:26make 5 to 8 million won , and those who
11:28do the planning or sales clearly earn
11:29between 20 and 50 million won a month .
11:31You just have to follow the steps .
11:33That’s why beginners either start
11:35with editing or start with brokering ;
11:36it's one of the two . But as you do this
11:38, you start to see just how many
11:40inquiries are coming into the market .
11:41Once people get a taste of this , they
11:43naturally transition into planning or
11:44move on to sales on their own . Even the
11:46planning documents are generated by an
11:48AI program . For example , let me type in
11:49" dermatology . " It then gathers all the
11:51recent top-performing
11:52dermatology-related videos from
11:53Instagram for you . Our own videos are
11:55also included . When you click the next
11:57step like this , the AI analyzes these
11:59reels . Based on the script structure
12:01analysis , you'll have the materials
12:02from the clients you need to plan for .
12:04When you input those , a complete script
12:06is created . For instance , let’s say
12:08we’re promoting a dermatology acne
12:10treatment . If you set the target as "
12:12entry-level employees " and generate a
12:14new script , it comes out like this . "
12:15Attention all job seekers and new hires
12:17facing their first interview : I'll show
12:19you three dermatology treatments that
12:21soothe redness in just one day . " We
12:22have specific standards for how our
12:24company creates content . The AI has
12:26learned those standards and generates
12:27intros that fit them perfectly . It is
12:29an AI that contains all the planning
12:30know-how and documents we’ve
12:32accumulated over seven years . So , the
12:34quality is bound to be much higher than
12:36plans created elsewhere . That’s why
12:37nine out of ten videos hit the mark
12:39when you follow our company's plans . So
12:41, by pumping out content this way ,
12:43doctors can just take the script and
12:44film it themselves without us even
12:46having to be there . It really isn't
12:49difficult at all .
12:50>> But you might wonder how to find these
12:51clients . How should beginners go about
12:53finding clients ?
12:54>> First , go to Soomgo and post that you
12:56provide reel services , and you’ll get
12:58inquiries right away . And the second
13:00one is Threads . You can think of
13:01Threads as a text-based promotional
13:03social media platform like a blog , but
13:05there are specific types of posts that
13:06actually generate inquiries . These are
13:08the content creation manuals our
13:10company has built over seven years . If
13:12you follow this , everything from
13:13writing the post and uploading it to
13:15getting inquiries can be done in one go
13:17.
13:17>> Then , who do you provide these compiled
13:20materials to ? These materials are taken
13:23by doctors , CEOs of brands , and many
13:25heads of media companies who learn from
13:28our company's daily classes .
13:30>> Could you share some of these with our
13:32viewers as well ?
13:33>> If you leave a comment saying " Juno
13:35Jung , " we will send them to you .
13:37There's more . This is a comprehensive
13:39manual for short-form agency services .
13:41It includes how to edit , plan , and
13:43handle sales , as well as sales scripts ,
13:45because your biggest weapon in sales is
13:47showing what you've done . We provide
13:50the full portfolio we’ve built up
13:51over seven years so that those people
13:53can go out and sell freely . I can
13:55confidently say that out of every ten
13:57trending Reels or YouTube Shorts these
13:59days , two or three were likely made by
14:01our company . So if you present our
14:03portfolio , people will go , " Oh , you're
14:04from that place ? " It ends up like that .
14:06We are more than happy to open those up
14:07so you can use them for sales . That’s
14:09a huge win .
14:09>> Can you give this to our viewers as
14:11well ?
14:12>> But who are your viewers ?
14:14>> People interested in side hustles .
14:16>> Yes . Our viewers can also receive them .
14:17I’ll make sure they can get them .
14:19>> Are you giving them out in physical
14:20form ?
14:20>> I can't give physical copies to
14:21everyone , as those are only for one-day
14:23class attendees , but I will send them
14:24as e-books . If you comment " Juno Jung , "
14:26I'll send you both .
14:27>> Oh , thank you . Would you also be able
14:29to provide the AI site you planned
14:31earlier ?
14:31>> The AI planning site ? Of course , I can
14:33give you that .
14:33>> Oh , really ?
14:34>> If you look at this , you have to use
14:35this .
14:36>> Wow , thank you . I could start right
14:38away and make money . If you have it
14:39right away .
14:39>> Honestly , you can make money right away
14:41. But if you're going to do it , I’d
14:43say start with this . That’s what I
14:44want to tell you .
14:45>> You’ve tried so many different
14:46businesses . Including side hustles , and
14:48you've done group purchasing agency
14:49work and group purchasing itself before
14:51, right ?
14:51>> Yes . That's correct .
14:52>> Compared to that , how is a side hustle ?
14:54The group purchasing agency business is
14:56actually the first business our company
14:57ever created . Group buying brokerage is
15:00connecting manufacturers who have a lot
15:02of stock with influencers who sell
15:04items at low prices , so consumers get
15:06to buy cheap , we earn money just by
15:08making the connection , and influencers
15:10earn money by selling — it was a
15:12win-win for everyone . We could earn
15:15margins of 5 % up to 15 % just by making
15:16those connections , and where else can
15:18you find a job like that ? Honestly , the
15:20short-form content brokerage market
15:22today is exactly the same format .
15:23>> Then why aren't you doing group buying
15:24brokerage anymore ? The margins have
15:25shrunk . It dropped from 5 % to under 3 % ,
15:28so I exited that market ; I only do what
15:30makes money . I felt I couldn't make any
15:33more profit in that market , so I looked
15:34for something else where I could earn
15:36money just by being the middleman , and
15:38I found the short-form brokerage market
15:40, which we’ve found to be excellent .
15:42The margins are high , it starts earning
15:44immediately , and we get orders just by
15:45scribbling down some text ; there’s no
15:47need to pitch to people who come to us .
15:49Since they come ready to pay , this is
15:50the first market I’ve seen where
15:51three out of every five people are
15:53successfully converted . Most of those
15:55people are doctors or brand CEOs . So ,
15:57it's impossible for this not to make
15:59money . Don't you think so ? A woman in
16:01her 60s is coming in later at 4 o'clock
16:03. She says she's coming with her
16:04husband . She’s someone who attended
16:07the free one-day class our company
16:09holds once a month . She watched that
16:11lecture and is coming to learn the
16:13details in depth . She also said she has
16:15never done this kind of work before .
16:16You might think we only succeed because
16:18we are young . But that’s not the case
16:20at all . Because we spend over 100
16:22million won every month just on labor
16:24costs for this . We assign the work
16:25directly and pay them for it . These are
16:27the funds we pay out as labor costs . If
16:29you look at the average age of those
16:31who receive it , people in their 20s and
16:3230s are of course the majority , but
16:33people in their 40s , 50s , and 60s also
16:35take on our orders .
16:36>> How much do those people earn ?
16:37>> On average , they earn at least 1.5
16:39million to 3 million won . How many
16:41weeks did it take for the fastest
16:42person to see results ?
16:43>> They saw results in just three days
16:44after starting .
16:44>> Because the market itself is so large
16:46and favorable , it seems like anyone who
16:47knows this market exists starts earning
16:49money right away . There are quite a lot
16:50of people like that . Shall we go
16:51downstairs and take a look ? My mother
16:53is here .
16:53>> That's great .
16:54>> It's on the basement floor .
16:56>> Hello . Nice to meet you . Are you here
16:59to learn , and did you come with your
17:00mom ? Please feel free to ask Producer
17:01Hyun-soo lots of questions . We're
17:03teaching everything in detail . This is
17:05an e-book provided only to those taking
17:07our one-day class ; if it's hard for
17:08your mother to learn just by watching ,
17:10I think it'll be helpful for her to
17:11read this .
17:12>> I really hope she learns and sees
17:14results .
17:14>> Yes . Exactly . Please ask any questions
17:16you have at any time .
17:17>> What does the person who just arrived
17:19do ? Like I mentioned earlier , we hold
17:20one-day classes . So , people come to our
17:23office to ask detailed questions when
17:24they get stuck trying it on their own
17:26after the class , or even if they’ve
17:28made some profit but don't know what to
17:30do next . If you look here , this is both
17:32our employee training room and our
17:34one-day class venue . These days , we
17:36mostly do it online . Since there are so
17:38many people , we do it online , but the
17:40space is often empty on weekdays . So if
17:42you come by and ask questions , our
17:44staff will come down to teach you
17:45one-on-one and help you until you see
17:47results , because when they succeed ,
17:48it's good for us too . I have a meeting
17:51this evening , so I’ll go to that and
17:53then it would be great to talk nearby .
17:55>> Ordinary people work hard , but they
17:57don't make as much money as you do , CEO
18:00.
18:00>> I see a lot of the new rich these days .
18:04Out of ten rising new rich people , nine
18:06of them seem to be flocking to this
18:08industry in particular . It is truly a
18:11massive blue ocean right now . Nowadays ,
18:14it feels like there isn't a single
18:16person who isn't doing personal
18:17branding or media . Just two years ago ,
18:20we might have thought we saw it a lot ,
18:21but really , only one or two out of a
18:22hundred were doing it . But these days ,
18:24all 100 out of 100 want to do it .
18:26That’s why we get so many inquiries .
18:28You have to make money in a market that
18:29actually works . I worked in manual
18:31labor for 5 years , and within 6 years
18:32of starting this business , I bought a
18:3410 billion won building and moved to
18:36Cheongdam-dong , so why wouldn't it work
18:38for you ?
18:38>> You actually did manual labor ?
18:40>> I did manual labor . These scars are all
18:42from that time . I have a lot of scars
18:44on my body .
18:44>> So you weren't rich from the beginning .
18:47>> Of course not . My mother raised the two
18:49of us sons by herself , and it was very
18:50difficult . I lived in Bangbae-dong .
18:52When I was young , Bangbae-dong had
18:53well-off neighborhoods and poorer
18:54neighborhoods . It was a neighborhood
18:56with a huge wealth gap . We were
18:57obviously in the poor area , and back
18:59then , hanging out with the kids from
19:01rich families , I think I felt those
19:03differences a lot from a young age . So
19:05I think I had a severe lack of money . I
19:08actually had a lot of debt , too .
19:09>> How much debt did you have ? It was a
19:11lot of money at the time , but I paid it
19:13all off by doing manual labor before
19:14starting this business . I just finished
19:17a meeting nearby , and this is the
19:18neighborhood where I first lived with
19:20my wife . This is the place where I used
19:22to live . It’s an officetel , and
19:23there’s a room next to a storage area
19:24. My wife and I started our life
19:26together in that room . I was running a
19:27Smart Store business , sending out
19:29packages . It was a Smart Store
19:30warehouse , and we slept in the tiny
19:32room next to it . In the winter , a ton
19:34of dust piles up because of the
19:35shipping boxes . The two of us would
19:37wake up in that place , full of dust and
19:39with no heating . My wife is someone who
19:42moved up to Seoul because of me . Seeing
19:44the person I love wake up in a dusty ,
19:46freezing cold room in mid-winter — oh ,
19:48I’m getting goosebumps again .
19:50Something in my heart shifted
19:52completely when I saw that scene . I
19:54realized she was suffering like that
19:55because of me . Do you see that third
19:58pillar over there ? I stood there ,
19:59leaning against it , thinking I wanted
20:01to just give it all up . That’s what I
20:02told my wife back then . I told her
20:04let’s go back home , even though she
20:05had her own business here at the time .
20:07But she didn't ask any questions and
20:09just said , " Okay . " So , this spot is a
20:11place with some very painful memories
20:13for me . But lately , it has turned into
20:14a very good memory . My wife is a " T. " A
20:16T-type on the MBTI . She said , " The past
20:18is in the past , and we’re doing so
20:20well now , so why are you like this ? "
20:21She said that while trying to act all
20:23tough . I brought her to this spot once .
20:25As soon as she arrived , she burst into
20:26tears and cried for about 20 to 30
20:28minutes on the way home . It was such a
20:30difficult place , but I think I
20:31instinctively come here to overcome
20:32those times . So , whenever I feel good ,
20:34achieve something , or start something
20:36new , I come to this spot . By coming
20:38here like that , it has changed into a
20:39very meaningful place for me .
20:41>> Was living here the hardest time for
20:43you ?
20:44>> I think my time doing manual labor was
20:45probably the hardest . I once spent
20:46about a month living and working with
20:48some construction workers . Living with
20:51them wasn't the hard part , but at first
20:53, they didn't want to teach me their
20:55trade , so as the youngest , I had to
20:57carry all the equipment and materials
20:59up . By walking up the stairs . I started
21:02with things like that and slowly
21:04learned the work . Thinking back on it
21:05now , it seems like it was really tough .
21:07>> If you had to go back to being a rookie
21:08, what kind of work do you think
21:10you’d do ? I think I’d be around
21:12this area . I think I’d start by
21:13helping people who want to do
21:15short-form content management ,
21:16distribution , and production . Because
21:19this is something that actually makes
21:21money right away once you start , and it
21:22lets you gain indirect experience in
21:24the media industry . I feel there’s a
21:27lot of vision to be found there , so if
21:29I were you , wouldn't I start a side
21:31hustle in this industry ?
21:32>> You mentioned you're a professional at
21:34side hustles .
21:35>> Yes . I’m a real pro at side hustles .
21:36I still take on many side hustle
21:37challenges . I’ve been in business for
21:39about seven years now . When I think
21:41about what I'm better at than others ,
21:42honestly , there isn't much . The one
21:44thing I'm good at is that my eye for
21:45the market is quicker than others and
21:47my execution is better , so I get into
21:49the market first and create what we
21:50call a " money basket . " Maybe that's how
21:53I was able to set up these money
21:54baskets ?
21:56>> Some of the viewers might be having a
21:57really hard time right now , just like
21:59you did in the past . What would you
22:01like to tell those people ? I think you
22:03have to knock on many doors . There is
22:05always a market where anyone can
22:06succeed . I think you need to find that
22:08market and do that kind of work . In a
22:10tough market , no matter how hard you
22:12work , only the people who are already
22:13good will succeed . But the market is
22:15constantly changing . New people always
22:17flock to changing markets , and if you
22:19time your entry well , isn't it true
22:21that anyone can succeed there ? I think
22:23that's what the short-form agency
22:24business or side hustles are right now .
22:26So , isn't it most important to work
22:28hard in a market that works , rather
22:29than trying hard in a difficult one ?
22:32You might also be struggling
22:33emotionally .
22:34>> If so , I'm sorry to say this , but you
22:36should exercise . Go for a walk . Walking
22:38is really good for you , and find a good
22:40mentor . Just on YouTube alone , there
22:41are tons of free resources you can
22:42watch and follow . Try challenging
22:44yourself with those one by one to
22:45achieve some results . And if you see
22:48results and feel confident , wouldn't it
22:49be a good time to take a course or
22:51something similar ? I guarantee that 99 %
22:53of the reason people watching this are
22:56struggling is because of money . I
22:58believe that most of those hardships
23:00would actually be resolved if you just
23:02had money . But the fastest way to make
23:05money in the current market is finding
23:07a good market . And finding a good
23:09mentor . Honestly , I think that's
23:11everything .
23:11>> When are you holding that one-day class
23:13you mentioned ?
23:14>> The one-day side hustle class will be
23:16held online in October , so those who
23:18are interested can come and join .
23:20>> Do you have any future goals ? I think
23:22my life has moved past the stage of
23:24survival needs . I feel I've gained the
23:26power to provide not just for myself ,
23:29but for my family , my mother , and my
23:31wife's parents without any shortage .
23:34But there are our employees and
23:35partners who helped make this all
23:36possible , you know . We succeeded thanks
23:40to them , but there are still some who
23:42haven't fully escaped the anxiety I
23:44once felt . Even within our own company .
23:47So , I hope this business keeps running
23:49well until they all thrive too , because
23:51I think it’s really important for
23:52everyone around me to do well together .
23:55Because I’ve found that there’s not
23:57much joy in making money all by
23:59yourself . I’ve experienced it myself .
24:00>> Then , would you please share a few
24:02words for our channel subscribers today
24:04?
24:04>> Stay strong . Let your light shine . Work
24:06hard . Survive and thrive . The door
24:08opens to those who knock . I’m a
24:10Christian . I truly believe in that
24:11saying . I hope you keep knocking in a
24:13market that continues to offer
24:14opportunities . I once had to move into
24:16rental housing when my family hit hard
24:18times , and since I didn't have a degree
24:20, I worked manual labor throughout my
24:22twenties , yet here I am now living in
24:23the best apartment in Cheongdam-dong .
24:25So , if you knock , anyone can make it .
24:27But the most important thing is to keep
24:29knocking in a market where the
24:30opportunities are big . This place is a
24:32market where there are opportunities
24:33and money flowing , so isn't that what
24:35matters ?
24:35>> Yes . Thank you for joining us today .
24:37Thank you so much .
