Dr. Chihmao Hsieh’s contribution to the Maeil Business Newspaper
How can Korea’s Social Culture Evolve to Support its Entrepreneurship Education? Written by Dr. Chihmao Hsieh (Professor, Department of Business Management) Entrepreneurship training and education programs have grown exponentially around the world in the last two decades. Naturally, the government and educational sector in Korea have been busy creating programs for students. Since 2002, the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups has been implementing the “Youth Biz School” project to spread entrepreneurship to young people. Across all those years, about 3,700 schools have participated in that program. The Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (KISED) was then launched in 2008 as a business incubator foundation, which now also adds a wide variety of entrepreneurship education and training programs. Middle schools and high schools all across Korea have created their own in-house entrepreneurship education programs, some yielding dozens of project-based outcomes every year. Today we can find good startup enthusiasm at dozens of Korean universities. Courses and educational events aiming to foster innovation and entrepreneurship are almost countless. Yet, decades later, the entrepreneurship output at the highest educational level—the university—is still underwhelming. According to the Korea Herald Business Daily (미주헤럴드경제), government support for university entrepreneurship programming in Korea recently is around 209 억 KRW while the startup revenue during the equivalent period has only been 102 억 KRW. Startup revenue can certainly lag that programming expenditure, but many entrepreneurship ecosystem leaders still lament these days that the output cannot rationalize the educational expenditure. While revenue isn’t the only indicator of success in entrepreneurship education, rapidly growing innovative startups are still the most respected indicator. In part due to my experience as an entrepreneurship educator for 15 years in the USA, Europe, and now Korea, I can suggest 3 different sociocultural elements of the entrepreneurship ecosystem here in Korea that still require development, to fully appreciate the potential of its entrepreneurship education. First, existing medium-sized enterprises should be more involved in the entrepreneurship education ecosystem. Large corporations like Samsung have steadily developed entrepreneurship and innovation programming that targets and benefits students, but chaebols alone cannot serve all the promising student ventures. While Samsung now has an in-house startup incubation program for its employees, and Hyundai and SK have recently partnered to nurture mobility and connected-car startups, many students today still have resistant pre-conceptions that Korean chaebols are unfriendly towards student entrepreneurship efforts and any startup success. The government should consider gathering successful medium-sized businesses into a national R&D network that can be leveraged to partner with new student startups. Of course, this is not easy. Those successful medium-sized businesses would ideally be vetted and certified in terms of their resources, commitment, reputation, and collegiality towards students. The Korean government should enlist and partner with financial institutions to play a larger role in developing innovative financing programs that stimulate partnerships between successful medium-sized enterprises and award-winning student startups. Second, parents should become more willing to accept and motivate their children to develop their creative ability and explore entrepreneurship during schooling. In April 2017, the “Presidential Youth Committee” (대통령직속 청년위원회) conducted a survey of 423 young entrepreneurs, asking them about their parents’ attitudes towards their startup. 28.1% of those parents had objected to their children creating startups. From those parents, the top two reasons for opposing start-ups were that they wanted their children to find stable jobs (37.8%), and that they believed that startup success was difficult (22.7%). Many of today’s parents are still stuck on their children working for large stable chaebols like Samsung, LG, or Lotte, and some may furthermore subscribe to the cultural history where scholars and government officials tend to have a higher status than businesspeople (“양천제”). Government and educational programs should welcome parents to the learning process, educating them about the value of entrepreneurial thinking for worklife in startups and in today’s large corporations. Schools and entrepreneurship training programs should not always turn away parents after they drop off their children to these programs. Even if they are not allowed to physically join their children during educational sessions, in today’s Youtube and Zoom world, parents should still be offered some information access. Lastly, Korea needs to find ways to give successful entrepreneurs some celebrity status and make them stronger positive role models. Maybe people are cynical that extremely rich and successful entrepreneurs are not very forthcoming in explaining their success. Many successful Korean entrepreneurs seem to hide from the public eye, so that their behavior cannot be monitored and scrutinized. Thus, instead of becoming celebrities, most Korean startup founders don’t usually stay on as CEO’s after tasting huge success; instead they often transition into the background as board directors or chairmen. Ultimately, there is very little opportunity to ‘cheerlead’ the successful entrepreneurs in Korean culture, as we see in American culture. Without those role models, students have one less source of inspiration. Dramatic angel-investment TV shows like the USA’s “Shark Tank” or the UK’s “Dragon’s Den” could be a good start. Young-ha Koh, head of the Korea Business Angel Association, remarks that “The most talented American students who grow up receiving entrepreneurship education dream of launching start-ups, but Koreans have no dreams of start-ups.” For almost two decades, a lot of energy, attention, and resources have gone into changing the mindsets of kids here in Korea, in terms of fostering their abilities to think about how they can be creative, to think about how they think, and to re-frame the path to success. Those are wonderful attempts at development. But if broader Korean policy and culture cannot nurture entrepreneurial capabilities after that educational programming and training is over, then much of that effort will have been wasted. The most inspired kids may feel abandoned, remember that abandonment, and take their hungry innovative mindset to another country instead.

SUNY Korea Students Participated in IFEZ Happy Tutoring Program
Four SUNY Korea Students participated in the IFEZ Happy Tutoring Program Season 3. Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) held a volunteer tutor program to support children with low-income families. The students provided tutoring lessons (English and Mathematics) and mentored one elementary school student each. Starting from early November until December 2020, weekly online and offline meetings were organized depending on the COVID-19 situation. Here is the story of Soyon Kong, the program coordinator. I am Soyon Kong majoring in Applied Mathematics & Statistics (AMS) at SUNY Korea. In the 2020 Fall semester, I had a chance to participate in a volunteer program named IFEZ Happy Tutoring Program. Since all the education I received was thanks to the society I lived in, sharing my knowledge with others in the society who need it became quite important to me. So, when I first saw the email that SUNY is recruiting mentors to teach low-income children, I was glad to apply. After a meeting with IGC and the Child fund, all the mentors were assigned their mentees. As a coordinator (manager) of the program, I prepared the textbooks and snacks for all the members before the first mentoring class. Although I had to take the bus for about one and a half hours to arrive at my mentees home, I was delighted to meet my mentee. She was 10 years old and had a strong will to study hard. I felt bad that though she was very smart and loved to study, she could not get enough education just because she was growing up in a low-income family. It seemed unfair that intelligent and young students could not receive enough education because of money. I thought it would be nice if more students next semester volunteer as a mentor for the lovely children who have great will to study hard. Also, when I contacted the other mentors, all of them felt rewarded because of this program. All mentees had a great attitude toward their studies and had a good relationship with their mentors. Before we started the tutoring, at the meeting with the Child fund, the person in charge said we should be careful because the children have wounded hearts from their housing situation. But all of them were just normal and adorable children who love to spend time with their teachers. Even though it is a volunteer program to share knowledge with others, I learned a lot also. I strongly recommend this program to all students who would love to share their knowledge and feel rewarded.

#9 Interview of Cambodian Brothers in SUNY Korea
The two brothers Norak Rin and Ratanak Rin came to SUNY Korea all the way from Cambodia for the opportunity of receiving American education in Korea. Watch the video to hear more about their thoughts and experiences! (link below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiyBgNZY0go&t=216s <Interview Context> 1. Can you briefly introduce yourself? Norak: Hello, my name is Norak Rin. I am an international student from Cambodia. I am currently a master’s student doing a BE & MS accelerated program at SUNY Korea with a major in Mechanical Engineering. I am going to graduate this December 2020. Ratanak: My name is Ratanak Rin. I come from Phnom Penh city, Cambodia and I graduated from Bak Touk high school in Phnom Penh city as well. Currently, I am a freshman at SUNY Korea, studying Computer Science. I came to SUNY Korea during the Spring 2020 semester, so this is my second semester as a freshman. 2. What made you come to Korea? / What made you decide to study at SUNY Korea? Norak: Studying abroad for tertiary education was always my ambition during my time at high school. My reason to study abroad is not only about the education that I want to pursue, but also the living experiences and responsibilities that would come along my way to make me mature in a better way. When I heard about SUNY Korea, it was difficult to ignore the potentials and opportunities that this university could offer. In addition to obtaining an American education, coming to this University would also allow me to experience my life in two different countries (Korea and the US). SUNY Korea was still comparatively a small and new campus. However, this condition would just make the university even more attentive to the quality and well-being of the students. I could not think of any other reason to not come to this University and I am glad I made that decision. Ratanak: I decided to study at SUNY Korea because it is the first American university in Korea which consists of selected degree programs of Stony Brook University as well as the degree granted from Stony Brook University. More importantly, SUNY Korea provides a unique opportunity for every student to study in both Korea and in New York; therefore, I can experience studying at two different and fascinating places of the world during my university life as an undergrad. 3. Is there any reason why you recommended SUNY Korea to your brother? What do you like about SUNY Korea? Norak: I did recommend SUNY Korea to my brother. There are two main reasons for that recommendation. The first one is my witnessing of the quality and decent conditions of the university. The location, the campus community, and, especially, the quality of the education are all within my expectation. I would love to have my brother receiving these experiences and quality of education as I do. The second reason is the reputation of the Computer Science program of Stony Brook University. As my brother just finished his high school education and has been interested in studying Computer Science, this would be a perfect opportunity for him as well. Ratanak: What I really like about SUNY Korea is that the school community is very friendly, especially the Computer Science department. Every professor and student here seems really helpful; we help each other to overcome any obstacle that we have faced during our academic life here. There’s even a tutoring program provided by the university for free to help students with difficulties in their studies. Of course, I also like the school environment here: as most of us come from different parts of the world, we share each of our cultures with each other, so that we can learn new things about each other. 4. What are some good things about going to the same university with your brother? Are there any difficulties? Norak: There are many good things. First, it is good to be with one of your family members when you are far away from home. Whether it is about taking care of one another or having a discussion/consultation or even just hanging out, it is always good to do it with someone who is really close to you, especially for my brother in this case, as this is his first time being away from our parents. Another good thing is about how I can share my experiences studying here with him. Although we are doing different majors, I still can guide and explain to him clearly about how everything works in this University and in this country, be it about the course work or even how to get around in the city. So far, I have not encountered any difficulties at all. Ratanak: Going to the same university as my brother is like having a compass in the middle of the thick forest, which means that I will be able to know which direction I should go to and where I should not go. He tries his best to guide me toward my goals, yet that does not mean he allows me to rely on him all the time. Most of the time I need to get out of my own comfort zone and make decisions on my own. 5. Do you live with your brother? If so, what are some good things about living with your brother? Norak: We both live on campus. I live in dormitory B while he lives in dormitory A. Nevertheless, we spend time cooking together almost every evening. Sometimes, we also go to eat out together. As I mentioned earlier, it is good to be with a member of your family and, in this case, it makes my parents happier and less concerned about my brother’s well-being as I am still here and can guide/take care of him during his first year. Ratanak: We both live on campus, but in different buildings; in fact, I live in dormitory A, whereas my brother lives in dormitory B. However, I think that could be considered as living together since we spend almost all the time cooking food together and going out together. As I mentioned before, living with him is like having a guide. During my first semester here, since it was my first time studying abroad, everything seemed so new to me. He taught me how to cook, how to go to the bank, and guided me around the campus. It was indeed a great moment to experience at least once in a lifetime if possible. Hahaha… 6. Do you two help each other when you study? How do you help each other? Norak: We would offer as much help as we can to each other. I give him tips on some of the courses that he is taking that I had taken. For the courses that I did not take, I give him advice on where to go for help as well as resources that he can check. Ratanak: Since we study different majors, we do not spend much time together when studying. I study on my own and he works on his own as well. However, he did help me consider which course I should take during each semester 7. What do you like to do in your free time? Norak: I spend my free time watching videos related to technology and history. I am also quite interested in science, basically, the study of the universe. I normally listen to podcasts related to that topic before I sleep. I also do sports frequently. Almost every weekend, I go to play soccer or, at least, once a week, I play ping pong with friends. I also enjoy hanging out with my lab mates from time to time. Ratanak: During the weekend I spend 2 to 3 hours playing soccer with other students here. I also spend so much time chatting with my family and friends back in my country. Recently, I have taken up table tennis as my new hobby and play it with my brother and his friends. 8. Is there any special incident in class or general life in SUNY Korea that you remember? Norak: There were several times during my undergraduate study that I and my group members had to stay until late at night to finish our course projects. At one point we were stuck, and there was nothing left for us to do but to order food and eat together before we reattempted to finish the work. It was quite exhausting but, at the same time, very memorable to me. I also remember one time when all international students cooked their national cuisine(s) together to serve the university’s president, some professors, the staff, as well as the students ourselves. I participated in that event and I remember it clearly because that was my very first time that I learned to cook, and it was edible. There were also some other experiences that are still in my fond memory such as the ski trip organized by the Korean Culture Institute, my participation as an orientation leader during the New Students Welcoming Week of Spring 2017, my first time being a residential assistant in Spring 2019, and many more. Ratanak: I think it was when I first discovered that I got accepted for the work study at IGC Library. I did not think I would get accepted to work as a work study student there. I was so excited about that because I got to know and work with new people at the library. 9. What are your future goals or dream? Norak: My intermediate goal is to earn my master’s degree and go on to pursue a PhD-level education right away. My long-term goal is to be a researcher/inventor. I have always highly valued the people who contribute to science and technology and use the technologies inventing something new and convenient for other people as well as solving the world problems. I am determined to produce the same worthwhile contribution and I hope it will happen. Ratanak: After graduating from the university, I would like to continue my academic journey pursuing a graduate degree, maybe in the United States if possible. In the further future, I would like to become a software engineer at one of the giant tech companies like Microsoft, Google, or Amazon. It is not an easy thing to do but I will try my best to make it happen. 10. Are there any difficulties in living here? Do you like the weather in Korea? Norak: Living in Korea does not give me any serious difficulty. Apart from the language barrier and being away from my parents and the people back home, I find my life here pretty good. I enjoy living in the school where I can focus on what I need to do. I made many good friends and we get along quite well. The tranquil and modern atmosphere in Songdo in general gives me a pleasant feeling and I know I am going to miss my life in this city later when I leave Korea. For the weather in Korea, it is just different from the weather in Cambodia. From December to February, the cold weather was rough for me at first. However, as time passed, I adjusted myself pretty well and it is okay for me now. Ratanak: Actually, I do not find the weather in Korea difficult to endure. In fact, I really enjoy the weather here in Korea, especially during Spring and Fall. However, I found it difficult to communicate outside the school campus, as I do not speak Korean but I have started learning Korean now and I hope I will be able to communicate with the local people fluently and travel to every part of Korea, of course after the Coronavirus pandemic. 11. What do you miss about Cambodia? Is there any place you visit or anything you like to do when you miss Cambodia? Norak: I miss the food in Cambodia. Of course, I also miss my family, relatives, and friends back home, especially during my first year. I video call them every weekend to see how they are doing. I also went back and stayed in Cambodia during some of the summer/winter vacations. Ratanak: Mostly, I miss my family and friends in Cambodia, especially my mom. I also miss how we used to spend our time together in my country. When I miss them, I call them and spend time chatting with them, asking how they are doing, something like that. 12. How would you like to introduce SUNY Korea to your friends and family in Cambodia? Norak: SUNY Korea is a place I have called home for these 4 years. It has given me an education, responsibilities, and a variety of meaningful experiences. SUNY Korea is a decent place which helped me grow, and I am grateful for that. I would recommend SUNY Korea to people I know back home to come and experience this great University. In fact, I even recommended it to my brother. Ratanak: I would say SUNY Korea is a great place for any student who has deep passion for learning, would like to get out of their comfort zone and come overseas. I would recommend all Cambodian students who always wanted to study abroad like what I am doing right now to work as hard as possible during their high school years and apply to SUNY Korea after graduating high school. Here at SUNY Korea, we are History Makers.

#8 From Intern to Employee, The Story of FIT Aumni Kim Ye-Eun
Everyone who works out these days knows about Mularwear. Not only is this brand popular for sportswear, but also for daily outfits as well. Let's meet a FIT (FBM major, Class of 2020) alumni, Yeeun Kim, who is working in the Mularwear Brand Strategy Team in charge of digital campaign managing, striving to strengthen brand awareness and positioning. Listen to the story from her starting as an intern to her becoming a brand marketer. Q1. Please introduce yourself briefly. Yeeun Kim: Hi, I’m Yeeun Kim. I graduated this year with a Fashion Business Management degree at FIT SUNY Korea. Q2. What is your current role and responsibility in Mularwear? Yeeun Kim: Mulawear is Korea’s first yoga wear brand, offering premium activewear, and is expanding to menswear and the athleisure market. Mularwear’s work culture is very flexible and casual. They have implemented a 4-day work schedule to encourage work-life balance and high work efficiency for their employees. There is always upbeat music playing in the office to boost their fun culture. Q3. I heard you started working as an intern. How did you prepare for the internship and did you have any difficulties preparing for it? Yeeun Kim: I think the hardest part for me was doing an interview with the FIT professors. I didn’t have a lot of interview experiences, so I looked up some tips online beforehand. On the flip side, because the interviewers were familiar faces to me, I could be more confident and was less afraid to make mistakes. Unfortunately, COVID-19 had just started when I was assigned to a company. Many companies were working at home, so my internship schedule kept being delayed. In the end, the company couldn’t take me, so I was assigned to Mulawear. I had researched into the previous company and their job, so I was a little flustered due to the sudden change. However, there were other students who have already started working at Mulawear, so I was able to ask for advice. Being with other students gave me a sense of support and made the internship process much easier. Q4. Please explain about the FIT Internship Course (IC297)? Yeeun Kim: IC297 is a course that provides internship opportunities as well as class lectures regarding career preparation. Through these lectures, we work on resumes, interviews, professionalism, and communication skills. We also share bits and pieces of our own internship experiences to gain insight on different career options. Additionally, individuals get to actually intern at matched companies 2-3 days a week. To sum it up, IC297 prepares you for real life after graduation. Q5. What is your current role and responsibility in Mularwear? Yeeun Kim: Currently, I am part of the Brand Strategy team, and our goal is to strengthen brand awareness and positioning. Within the team, my main responsibilities include social media activities and digital campaign management. I also work with brand exposure and sponsorship as well. As a team, we strategize long-term marketing activities and campaigns and work with PR. Q6. When was the most proud moment in your career? Yeeun Kim: My proudest moment in the company was when I was able to report positive results of the first project I managed. The project may not seem prominent to others, but it was the very first project that I managed alone, and it felt good to see the physical results of my efforts. Q7. What were your strengths because you were an FIT student? (Class, faculty, program, etc.) Yeeun Kim: Because our professors are still actively working in the fashion industry, we can get a lot of practical and helpful advice and knowledge aside from lectures and theories. They are always open to talking to students, so it’s easy to talk to them and ask for their opinions when it comes to studying or career. We also have guest speakers and field trips, which allows us to observe and learn about wider boundaries of the industry. Now that I am actually working, I realized that the foundation and knowledge that I picked up at school come in extremely handy in work situations. For example, our course on Excel has helped to handle real life data with ease. With the knowledge, I didn’t fall behind in professional conversations. Apart from merchandising and design, not a lot of people have fashion backgrounds, even in fashion companies. Having a fashion-specific background has let me bring in a new perspective to the team. Q8. What did you get the help from the SUNY Korea CDC? Yeeun Kim: First of all, since my internship opportunity was given by CDC, CDC has played a prominent role in starting my career after graduation. Since I lived abroad most of my life, I didn’t know much about Korea’s fashion industry and the options that were available to me. Thanks to CDC, I was given deeper insights and broader knowledge about possible careers in Korea. Through CDC, you can get your resumes reviewed and improved and that is definitely much more helpful and practical than relying on online resources. Furthermore, CDC followed-up during my internship days to make sure everything was going smoothly. Their active support goes beyond practical things, and I was able to feel secure and supported throughout the whole journey. Q9. What is your current role and responsibility in Mularwear? Yeeun Kim: Currently, I am part of the Brand Strategy team, and our goal is to strengthen brand awareness and positioning. Within the team, my main responsibilities include social media activities and digital campaign management. I also work with brand exposure and sponsorship as well. As a team, we strategize long-term marketing activities and campaigns and work with PR. 10. Do you have any advice for your friends preparing for internships? Yeeun Kim: My best tip would be to make the most out of school’s resources. The professors and CDC are great resources that are difficult to have access to outside of school. It is important to work hard and have a great attitude. Doing so, school will offer you with great opportunities. Then, it is our responsibility to make the most out of it. Even as an intern, your role may seem small at first, but the only way to make it bigger is hard work and great attitude.
