- Published a practical liberal arts book for teenagers called "To You Dreaming of a Wonderful Professional."
"To You Who Dream Of A Wonderful Pro" (written by Cho Hyun-jung) has been published. This book is a practical liberal arts book for teenagers who dream of becoming athletes, celebrities, and content creators and prepare to reveal themselves to the world.
The author, Cho Hyun-jung, is a veteran reporter who served as the director of pop culture and editor-in-chief of Sports Seoul, a sports and entertainment magazine, and kindly unraveled the qualities and skills that must be equipped to become a true professional based on the experience, information, and thoughts he has seen, heard, and felt while covering numerous stars in the field for more than 30 years.
The book contains practical and useful information such as what to keep in mind when signing a contract with an agency as a professional, as well as psychological, relationship, and economic management know-how to run long as a professional, such as how to overcome a slump, human relations, and financial management.
It also presented vivid examples of various stars, including Kim Yu-na, Yoo Jae-seok, Shohei Ohtani, and BTS, helping teenagers readers to understand more friendly and easily.
Teens are no longer a time for career exploration. These days, as more teenagers want to quickly enter society in search of their dreams, "To You Who Dream Of A Wonderful Pro" will be a good guide for future professionals who are unable to easily obtain information and advice even at home or at school due to the special environment of sports and entertainment.
◆The overwhelming number one future hope- A blueprint for teenagers who want to become athletes, celebrities, and creators
The desired job of the future generation has changed. Athletes, singers, actors, and content creators are always at the top of the recent youth future survey results. In addition, "culture, arts, and sports-related occupations" topped the list with 43.22 percent as the desired job selected by senior elementary school students in 2024.
As if to prove the results of the survey, we can easily find teenagers around us who discover their talents and dreams early and want to quickly enter society. However, the special environment in the sports and entertainment industry, which is rarely known, makes it difficult for aspiring professionals to seek information and advice on how to plan their future specifically and what qualities they should have for a smart professional life.
In response, Cho Hyun-jung, who has been in the middle of the "professional world" for more than 30 years, will present a practical liberal arts book "To You Dreaming of a Wonderful Pro" for teenagers who dream of entering the field. The book contains 20 essential liberal arts, practical skills, and future strategies for aspiring professionals who will enter society earlier than others based on the experiences, information, and thoughts the author has seen, heard, and felt in the field.
◆From pre-debut preparations to smart long-run strategies - 20 social life guides you can listen to through the vivid stories of stars
"To You Who Dream Of A Wonderful Pro" teaches 'culture' to become a cool professional in the first part and 'technology' to become a smart professional in the second part based on before and after debuting as a professional. The first part contains life guides such as how to set specific goals and plan, as well as a mindset that must be equipped as a professional, such as the spirit of compliance and teamwork.
The second part details the minimum essential information for newcomers to protect themselves and achieve their dreams, such as how to check whether they are a problem-free management company and how to write contracts safely, and how to survive as a professional, such as how to overcome a slump and use social media wisely.
This book introduces examples of stars everywhere to help readers understand vividly. It presented various best practices, including the Mandalat plan, known as the secret of Shohei Ohtani's success, the mental management and foreign language study efforts of figure skating queen Kim Yu-na, how to build relationships with national MC Yoo Jae-seok, and Faker's reading list, so that youth readers could naturally sympathize with the topic and understand the content easily.
◆ Refreshing answers to the difficult concerns of actual teenagers - Delicate and warm advice from waiters with 30 years of experience
Each of the introduction articles of the 20 crests contained a brief case text in the form of an article, which shows the expertise of a reporter with 30 years of experience in the field. In addition, the story of actual teenagers covered by the author makes you feel a sense of reality close to the reader. In addition, at the end of each top of the first part, specific practice guidelines for each step were kindly organized, so the practicality was not missed. Readers will be able to design their dreams more realistically by looking for content that they have been contemplating, but have not been able to easily find advice or methods.
The author, who has witnessed the growth and frustration of many stars over the past 30 years, says, "There was a clear difference between stars who survived to the end in the cold professional world and those who did not, and those who succeeded had something in common." Let's find out "how to become a real professional" that has never been passed on anywhere through "To You Dreaming of a Wonderful Professional", which is a collection of the author's special insights, and create a time to grow each person's dreams stronger. In addition, I recommend reading this book to parents and teachers who had teenagers who dreamed of becoming professionals but felt vague and hopeless about the difficulties they felt.

Introduction of the Author
Cho Hyun-jung
He graduated from the Department of Linguistics at Korea University and worked as a reporter specializing in sports and entertainment for more than 30 years from 1994. After serving as the director of popular culture and deputy director of the digital division of Sports Seoul, he became the first female editor in chief in 38 years since its foundation. He is currently serving as the head of the brand strategy office and a standby for Digital Daily. He is an energizer who kicks a ball at the soccer field every week and goes to practice for the cheering squad, and he loves the "Life of Knowing the Value of Sweat." I wrote "To You Dreaming of a Wonderful Professional" in the hope that the experience and sincerity gained in the field for a long time will be of practical help to teenagers who are contemplating their career paths.
a recommended word
The strategy of beating your opponent in a game, the skill of becoming a talented entertainer, can be learned at school or academy. But it's not easy to learn how to be a great player or a beloved celebrity. It must have been up to the stars themselves to learn.
That's why I'm more glad to see this book. This is because before entering the professional world, teenagers who are full of vague and anxious minds are kindly informed of the actual know-how to prepare and learn in advance. I've been watching a lot of star players up close, so I believe 20 skills will be a great help. I hope that to you who dream of becoming a great professional will be the starting point for achieving your dreams.
-Koo Dong-hoe (CEO of All That Sports, Kim Yeon-ah's management company)
If you had decided to read this book, you would have decided a little specifically what you like to do and started running to achieve it. When I heard the title, I thought vaguely that it would be a book for people to achieve dreams in a specific field, but after reading the book, I was able to get insights on my know-how to work properly, my attitude toward people, and how to grow.
In particular, it contains "real-world skills" such as interview tips, how to use social media, how to safely sign a contract with a good management company, and how to manage time and finances. Since I am an author with a lot of field experience, I can understand and empathize more easily than anything else. We support your dreams to grow solidly through "To You Who Dream of a Wonderful Professional".
