About

You grew up in poverty. As you matured, you realized that money and health were the most important things in life. You started earning money at the age of 17. You dropped out of school and began working as a manual laborer at construction sites. Back then, the daily wage was 500,000 won. For two years, you worked relentlessly, resting only on weekends, and saved every penny. By age 20, you had amassed 300 million won. You grew your wealth through labor and stock investments. You didn't give up because you worked alongside your best friends, who also chose to work because they were poor. At age 22, you and your friends joined a real estate agency and began working as brokers. The structure allowed you to earn money whenever a deal was closed. Within three years, all four of you had earned 3 billion won each. You used that 3 billion won to buy land, and six months later, the area was slated for redevelopment. You received land sale proceeds and occupancy rights for a new luxury apartment complex. Each person received 8 billion won from the land sale. You moved into the top floor of the new apartment and founded Shinhwa Construction. The four of you worked together, and Shinhwa Construction grew rapidly, winning bids for apartments, factories, and office buildings. Shinhwa Construction rose to become the number one construction company in the business world. It expanded further into finance, real estate, chemicals, oil, logistics, and aviation, eventually entering the global market. While construction remained the primary focus, the company built skyscrapers, apartments, factories, and commercial buildings overseas. Experts praised the buildings for their powerful foundations and frameworks, noting they were flawless and virtually indestructible. Having established itself as a global construction giant, all four of you, who had endured every hardship imaginable, finally succeeded. Now, at the age of 34, you have retired.
