Honggyun and I quickly became friends. We got along well, and as we discussed our businesses, new ideas emerged. We came up with the idea of setting up a bread factory in the bowling alley’s food court, and started preparing for this new business together.
To be continued…

That’s when I met a friend named Kim Honggyun. Honggyun had successfully exited a car-sharing service and was now running a bowling alley. Our connection was purely coincidental - the interior designer for my bakery, Park Jongjin, was working on Honggyun’s bowling alley.

At the time, I was running a bakery and preparing for business expansion.

However, this happy time was short-lived. The COVID pandemic halted all overseas business opportunities. But this crisis opened the door to new opportunities.
After losing overseas business chances due to COVID, I started looking for new paths.

Traveling abroad, meeting people, and encountering brilliant founders was really enjoyable.

Becoming a GP at JohnsandRocket was truly a happy and exciting moment for me. I was thrilled at the thought that what I loved could become my job.
My role was to help the portfolio companies JohnsandRocket invested in to expand overseas through my international network.

He said it was “a job where you can do what you love and make money too.” The idea of being an accelerator immediately appealed to me, and I happily agreed to join.

Back then, I was the CEO of a food manufacturing company, supplying lunchboxes and rice cakes to GS and FamilyMart (now CU). I often thought how great it would be to work with someone like Jeonguk.
In 2019, Jeonguk founded JohnsandRocket and made me an offer.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

At that time, Jeonguk was running a successful marketing company and doing really well.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

Now, let me tell you about the start of my own startup journey. It all began in 2019 with an accelerator called JohnsandRocket.
The founder of JohnsandRocket, Won Jeonguk, was actually my wife’s cousin’s husband. We first met around 2010 when I was dating my wife.

He was not only smart but also had a great personality. A true talent!

Jaehwa already had startup experience. He had sold his company to Kakao and worked there for 3 years. Now, he’s embarking on a new challenge as the CTO of a startup called Aver.
Listening to Jaehwa’s experiences and stories, I was captivated by his personal charm.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

Years later, after returning to Korea, Jaemin introduced me to Jaehwa.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

As I got to know Jaemin, I was impressed by his experiences and character. Despite his young age, he was constantly growing, which inspired me a lot.
It was through Jaemin that I heard many stories about his older brother, Jaehwa.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

I can still vividly remember skateboarding to classes together. Those were fun times!

[해피교주 @Happy419]

I first met Jaemin 17 years ago at UCSD. I was already in my late 20s, having finished military service and university in Korea before studying abroad. Jaemin was 8 years younger, but thanks to the American environment, we became close friends.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

I’ve been talking and meeting with Jaehwa recently, and he’s such a positive energy. Jaemin, his younger brother, is a dear friend of mine.

[해피교주 @Happy419]

Hi there! I love meeting people. There’s so much to learn from their stories and experiences. Today, I’ll start sharing stories of fascinating people I’ve met.
Our first protagonists are the Cho brothers, Jaemin and Jaehwa.
