My Interest in Technology and What Surprised Me About It

Well, um… I suppose honestly that growing up in Korea, I was always very technology-oriented.
From a young age, I found myself fascinated by new gadgets, apps, and the pace of innovation happening around me.

Whenever I read about great innovations, I noticed most of them were coming from places like Silicon Valley.
That made me curious—what makes a country or company lead global innovation?
And more importantly, could we do the same in Korea?

We had a kind of 20-year roadmap for one of our national tech projects.
At first, many of the goals seemed ambitious—even unrealistic.
But perhaps the most surprising thing is that all of the hypotheses we had actually came out to be true.
It was one of those moments when long-term vision and patience really paid off.

That experience deepened my respect for long-term thinking in tech.
It reminded me that behind every 'overnight success' is usually a decade of planning and belief.
