Why TSM South Korea?

  • What motivates you to join TSM? I would like to start up a company in the future. It might or might not be a tech start-up. I would like to use this study mission to explore the option of starting a tech business and learn from the successful model of Korean entrepreneurs.
  • Why pick South Korea? South Korea is a founding country of many successful and world-renowned businesses pretty quickly and effective. Thus, I think it would be very useful to learn the business model of the Koreans for my future reference.

Internship Opportunities

  • What types of internship opportunities interest you? All
  • Any ideal firms (based in South Korea) that you wishes to join? No preference

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you? All (still exploring options)
  • What plan do you have in starting a business? I plan to start a business in the future when I have saved up enough money from work. Meanwhile, I hope to learn business models and best practices from entrepreneurs.

Past Experiences

  • Describe your past experience (entrepreneurship, or works in start ups etc)... I have previously worked in a local start-up, Rockstar by Soon Lee. It is an independent multi-label store based in Singapore. Although I was not involved in management work, I observed how the start-up was ran. To date, it still fascinates me how the 2 founders managed to come together, form an interesting idea and made it a success with their wfforts.
