Why do I keep working when I earn as much as I earn as I earn two articles of wealth? The question is, 'My value of existence' (millionaires)



In his 30s, Kim Han-kyun emphasized the basic principle of success that 'Only those who are ready take a chance' after forming a company worth 2 trillion won.

In the EBS and E-channel co-production on the 30th, Seo Jang-hoon's neighborhood millionaire' (hereinafter 'neighbor millionaire'), Kim Han-kyun appeared and told his life story. The story of his tenacity and challenge became an example for many from a poor cosmetic shop part-timer who received a minimum wage of 20,800 won a day to a CEO who leads a company worth 2 trillion won.

Kim Han-kyun, a poor Daldongne boy, was teased for wearing the same clothes every day, but he wanted to change the environment himselfI never stopped dreaming that " Due to family circumstances, he entered the livelihood front at the age of 19 and reached a turning point in his life with his first part-time job at a cosmetics store.




Based on that experience, he became the first and only 'Men's Beauty Power Blogger' in Korea, and was a huge success as a blogger, with 100,000 visitors a day. Seo Jang-hoon praised it, saying, `It's okay for men to manage these days, but I went on a path that no one went to at the time by myself.'

Kim Han-gyun first started a cosmetics brand at the age of 28 based on his blog's success, but the result was simply 'disappointment'. Since then, the mask pack made by Kim Han-kyun, who made a living by working three to four part-time jobs, aimed at the Chinese market in the third to fourth years of its establishment, has hit a huge jackpot. The cumulative sales of the mask pack in China reached 2.2 billion units by 2023, a record of seven sold per second since entering 2014. The secret to sweeping China with an unfamiliar low-priced brand was Kim Han-kyun's thorough preparation. Since Korea's decision to deploy THAAD in 2016, China has tightened regulations on exports of Korean cosmetics. However, Kim Han-kyun's mask pack was able to fill the vacancy of other companies whose exports had been suspended thanks to the approval of hygiene in advance.
