Why TSM South Korea?

• What motivates you to join TSM?
  

I have always had a deep interest in the entrepreneurship scene, and Korea. When you put the two of them together, it becomes irresistible. I think another reason that propels me towards this TSM is my curiosity– I have always envisaged myself running my own business in the future. As such, this TSM presents a very good opportunity for me to learn from other entrepreneurs: entrepreneurship skills, and more importantly on how to start a business. The prevalence of application of advanced technology in Korea is also what drives me towards this TSM. What further intrigues me about Korea is how technology is applied in an innovative manner in seemingly unrelated areas to make things better. This I think, is the epitome of technopreneurship and is a skill which I hope to learn more about and perhaps acquire.

On the whole, the combination of this baskets of factors is what motivates me to join TSM.

• Why pick South Korea?
  

I am secretly Korean. I want to go back to my hometown. All my husbands are there too, a few namely Song Joong Ki, TOP, Kang Gary...
Jokes aside, I love their culture. I have always wanted to go there. Going with the school would be even better!

Internship Opportunities

• What types of internship opportunities interest you?
  

Generally, I am more interested in internship that pertains to the IT sector, but on the whole I am open to internship opportunities from other sectors as well.

• Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wishes to join?
  

Not for now. I am open to all kinds of experiences.

Starting a business

• What types of business interest you?
  

Cafe/ Eatery
Blogshop
Healthcare industry, more specifically clinics
Money Exchange

• What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
  

Currently, study mods that allows me to learn more about starting up businesses(like this mod), network with people that i can learn from, and of course to save up some money! Other than that, i do have a business idea that came to me when i was in secondary school, but it still has a long way to go!
