Interview with the 86th Advanced Management Program (AMP) Admitted Candidates
Every Monday, Korean-Japanese Young-Ho Kim and Woo-Ja Choi (AMP ‘86) fly to Korea from Japan to attend AMP classes at KUBS. KUBS News met them for an interview on their extraordinary passion for learning.
Q. Could you please introduce yourselves?
Hello. I am Young-Ho Kim, and I am Woo-Ja Choi. We are the second generation of Korean immigrants in Japan. We were both born in Fukuoka, Japan. We are running a real estate and food business ‘ZONE Inc.’.
Q. How did you make up your mind to apply for AMP at KUBS?
(Young-Ho Kim) I took over my father's business straight after I graduated from high school. I was busy with my work and missed a chance to study properly. Deep down I have always wanted to study and it has been one thing I found regretful in my life. And one day, I met Chairman Sang-Young Choi who is the president of KU Alumni Association in Japan and also the winner of ‘Proud KU Alumnus Award’. He recommended me to apply for AMP in Korea. So I did some research and I was fascinated by AMP’s teaching staffs who have noticeable academic achievement in addition to the professional experience. I suggested my wife study with me, and that’s how we both applied for the program. We know that flying from Japan every week is of course not easy, but we will do our best until the end of the program.
Q. Is there anything in particular that you would like to learn from the program?
I look forward to building a network with business leaders in Korea, especially in the internationally renowned learning environment with cutting-edge technology. I also look forward to corporate management and tax planning, in particular. In addition, the time in Korea will improve our Korean skills too. The cultural experience is another thing that we look forward to, so basically, we would like to experience Korea while studying at AMP.
The first AMP program in Korea, Korea University's AMP was established in 1976. With its 43 years of history, AMP is widely recognized for its professors and strong alumni network consists of 4,500 experts from diverse industries.
