'The 100 billion won fashion myth' creator Kim Da-in (CEO) confessed the tearful past hidden behind her dazzling success.
In the KBS 2TV variety program 'The Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears' (hereinafter 'Sadang-gwi'), which aired on the 19th, the success story of 32-year-old CEO Kim Da-in (CEO), whose annual sales exceeded 100 billion won, was revealed for the first time.

On this day, when Park Myung-soo visited Kim Da-in (CEO)'s company, he admired the sophisticated design and the stylish atmosphere of the office building, asking, "Did you major in costume design?" To this, he honestly replied, "I never even graduated from college", surprising everyone.
When Park Myung-soo asked, "Was there a special reason for building such a company with such enormous sales at such a young age?", Kim (CEO) fell silent for a moment, then choked up as she recalled the past. She revealed, "I started working at the age of 23. At first, I went to Dongdaemun to purchase goods with just 60,000 won, knowing nothing."
She further shared the difficult situation at the time, saying, "Market vendors even cursed at me, asking, 'Do you think this is a department store?'". Despite the setbacks, she did not give up and took on a new challenge. Kim Da-in recalled the hard times, saying, "I started over with 300,000 won borrowed from my mother".
