How Alex Hahn Found Success in Business as a Korean Immigrant | Legacy Project East Bay

.

Alex Hahn was born in February 1941 in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul, the fourth of eight children. From his childhood, he remembers that his parents were businesspeople, selling rice and other grains—an entrepreneurial spirit which he inherited. He also recalls two dreams he had as a youth: for the Korean War to end, and to be given the opportunity to study abroad in the United States. This opportunity arose through his successful fencing career, where he represented Korea at the World Fencing Championships in 1967 in Montreal; he also coached the South Korean Olympic fencing team. After studying economics at Kyunghee University, Alex attended a fencing academy in Hollywood while working at a wig store in Los Angeles, before moving to the Bay Area, where he studied hospitality management by night and worked in a wig business by day. He tells us that the particular hardships the first generation of Korean immigrants experienced revolved around an unfamiliarity with the language as well as the law. He recollects how the first businesses immigrant entrepreneurs opened were labor-intensive, such as grocery stores and restaurants. And yet, Alex considers himself lucky to have accomplished all that he set out to do. After establishing a successful grocery chain in Oakland and coming into ownership of a shopping center in West Oakland, he hopes to continue building out the region’s robust Korean community. He warns us against conflating success with money or power, instead encouraging us to live in harmony—and not transactionally—with our communities. In collaboration with Koreatown Youth + Community Center of Los Angeles, Koreatown Storytelling Program is an intergenerational, multilingual and multiethnic oral history and digital media program that teaches ethnographic and storytelling techniques to high school students and elders to investigate cultural practices and racial, economic and health inequities in our community.

Note from Zennie62Media and ZennieReport.com. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content. This video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”.

The uploaded video is from the Zennie62 YouTube channel. It is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the nflnewsbyzennie62.com site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World.

Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution.

We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this approach, the problem is far less, though by no means solved.

Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
