Kim Junbum, a Beijing-based South Korean entrepreneur who has lived in China for 11 years, said it was the Beijing Olympics commemorative coins that his grandfather gave him encouraged him to come to Beijing for studies.
After graduating from Peking University, he started a business as he felt optimistic about the country. Kim finally chose Zhongguancun as the location to set up a company after receiving many benefits from the startup incentives there.
On the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and ROK, he expressed his best wishes: "I hope the hearts of South Korea and China are closely linked together."
