‘Zero’ is a state of nothing and state of everything at the sametime.
As it stands today, I still don’t have a business card that contains an email address, contact info, or job title at a company. As I have been through so many different occupations from food food blogger, artist, teacher, designer, entrepreneur and now, most recently a YouTuber; I am confused about what to write on my business card.

Her live class with Naver (Most famous Korean search engine)
My story began when I was in school, we were asked to write what we want to do in the future. As I was a kid with many dreams, every year I wrote down different things that I wanted to do in the future. The only thing that I fell truly in love with was photography. So I decided to take photography as my major in college.
During my travels, I experienced vignettes of life as a volunteer, teacher, tour guide, photographer, artist, blogger, model, seller, hospitality employee, cleaner, farmer, busker, designer, etc. As I was traveling and doing different jobs, my friends back in South Korea had already graduated.

Those who were studying music became musicians and those in fashion became designers, they had all already made a name for themselves in their fields. On the other hand, perhaps I am trying my best to become an expert in many fields, and I am always on the hunt for an experience that is special and exotic.
While in the USA around the later parts of the year 2014, I was working on a long-term art project. Having already invested 5 years in this, I had an unfortunate incident happen with me. I lost all the data and my camera when all my gear was stolen. I had no money in the bank and no portfolio so I was back to zero.
So while looking for a fresh start, I decided to go to Australia with just $200 cash. Even without a return ticket I went there and started again from scratch.

I had to come back to Korea because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I could not even complete my project of now, 10 years, so I was back to zero again.
I started to write a new blog with some photos that I took, as I had no money to launch something new like a start-up company. Since there are many people who are interested in photography, my blog grew very fast and I also presented photography classes, became a lecturer. More than 3000 people have signed up for my class to date.

Her first offline class
Observing that most of the students in my class want to start their own business and be self-employed, I thought if I had experience in business, I could help them. So, I decided to stop teaching in person and started my own business. Once my business was up and running, I decided to go to India in December 2021.
I could have had a more stable life if I continued to be a lecturer. I would have also made more money if I continued my business. But I choose to experience a different universe. so I decided to become a content creator.. I am back to zero.

Looking back over the past 10 years, instead of just being successful in one field, i feel i have had the opportunity to be a part of many experiences. Every time I made a new decision, a new start, a new beginning, I went back to zero again.
In other words, the ‘zero’ is a state of nothing and state of everything at the sametime.
