* <font color=#07044A><b>What motivates you to join TSM?</b></font>
I've never been to South Korea, it will be a new experience! Travelling there on TSM opens a lot of doors to visit places which we would not have access to otherwise, particularly the companies we will visit. I feel its in a once-in-a-lifetime chance that cannot be given up, not to mention the outside the classroom experiential learning.
<br><br>
I have learnt so far is that during IS101, I have understand every company has their own problems. Now given a chance overseas at Korea as Asia’s fourth-largest economy and a major player among the world’s top exporting nations, I wish to experience first hand what are the actual challenges and difficulties a company faces and what how technology solution was considered to be a solution to their problem.
<br><br>
* <font color=#07044A><b>Why pick South Korea?</b></font>
South Korea recently got a huge boost with the Hallyu (Korean Wave), however I believe that there is more to the country than the entertainment industry. Being one of Asian's Four Tigers and the only industrialised country picked by Goldman Sachs in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Eleven Next Eleven], I would love to get to see first-hand and visit the companies or chaebols that contributed to this robust economy and those the continue to be on the cutting edge of technology.
<br><br>
South Korea is also a country that has a rich history, going back all the way into BC years, which is amazing, compared to Singapore's meagre years. I would really like to visit historical sites and just simply soak in the culture and tradition that only time can nurture.

* <font color=#07044A><b> What types of internship opportunities interest you?</b></font>
Positions as a business analyst or related to project management would be ideal, or an IT-related position where I can apply what we picked up in school.
<br><br>
* <font color=#07044A><b> Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wish to join?</b></font>
YG Entertainment! Just kidding. I would love to join either Samsung or LG, they are key producers of a major consumer good everyone uses today - mobile phones. Particularly Samsung, they are currently one of the firms developing cutting edge mobile technology, it would be a huge privilege to get in on some of the action.
<br><br>
Another consideration would be the confectionary/hotels/theme park subsidiaries of Lotte Group. I believe that an insight into how IT aids in running the business would be an eye opener.

* <font color=#07044A><b>What types of business interest you?</b></font><br>
Media, retail, technological, gadgets related. 
<br><br>

* <font color=#07044A><b>What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)</b></font><br>
During my previous internship my boss threw out a lot of ideas for solutions that could possibly make lives of media professionals much easier either by integrating current existing platforms or moving away from legacy systems. I am still discussing which are the most feasible ideas with him before we move on to looking for a team to develop the solution.
