my friend yongjoon just sent me a blog post from a Korean blogger/journalist who just caught an episode of the GigaOm Show and realized that i am Korean, so he wrote a post. pretty sweet. makes me happy to learn that tech folks in Korea are slowly learning about the show. since the show began, i have been approached by a number of Korean tech entrepreneurs who are happy to meet other Koreans out here in Silicon Valley. what is interesting to me is that despite the fact that the korean web experience is traditionally 3 to 5 years ahead of the US web experience (what we call web 2.0 here happened in korea maybe 5 years ago), we haven’t seen many successful korean start-ups translate into international success stories. i guess we will have to work on that, now won’t we!
