Interview

Q1: What was illuminarean's initial goal at the time of its foundation?

A: My goal was to build a company in Korea that I would want to work for and recommend to close ones, like family members. The idea was to start by integrating the positive aspects of companies I experienced in the U.S. and see if that could create a 'good company.'

Q2: What is your current goal?

A: The goal remains unchanged. However, it has evolved from my personal vision of a 'good company' to a collaborative definition shaped by the opinions of our team members. Through various efforts, we've realized that significant changes can't happen overnight. Now, we're setting longer timelines and looking further ahead.

Q3: What is your ultimate goal?

A: It is to work with great people for a long time and to see our company culture become the norm in Korea.

Trial and Error

The process of correcting errors that arise during various attempts to solve problems, thereby gradually applying the most optimal methods.

At illuminarean, we foster an environment conducive to growth in an autonomous atmosphere, continuously embracing new challenges and learning through trial and error. Rather than fearing failure, we view it as an essential learning step towards success, slowly and steadily building a better company.
