희철리즘 (Heechulism)

 One individual had dreams of becoming an announcer, actor, or screenplay writer but faced failure in business endeavors. Although they once earned nearly 30 million won per month, they were left with only 3.8 million won in their account after a business failure. Despite the painful experience, they were still in their early twenties and felt it was too soon to give up.

 They chose 'challenge' over 'regret' or 'settling for reality'. With the remaining money, they decided to produce travel videos with the theme of world travel and, through consistent efforts, have now garnered nearly 930,000 subscribers, becoming a popular travel YouTuber. This individual, known as Heechulism, is one of the three leading travel YouTubers along with Pani Bottle and KWAKTUBE.

 Heechulism opted for the path of entrepreneurship and travel YouTubing instead of the typical corporate career. Scheduled to speak as a special guest at the "Job Tech Connecting Days" event in Samsung-dong, Seoul on the 26th of this month, they plan to share their personal life experiences with peers, particularly those in their 2030s.

 Despite experiencing failure in trying to expand their business beyond their capabilities after attempting to match Korean speakers with native speakers for Korean conversation training, they deferred employment and money-making to embark on a journey around the world.

 They challenged themselves to pursue what was possible at that time, even if it meant failing as a YouTuber. They firmly believed that all their experiences, whether successes or failures, would eventually converge into a single point and lead to a unified path in the future.
