Description
The Story Real Korea tells the true, surprising stories behind Korea's most iconic companies, people, and turning points — in the storytelling style of a great documentary. Season one: Samsung. How did a company that started in 1938 selling dried fish and noodles end up making the memory inside the world's machines? We trace the wild pivots, the impossible bets, and the moment a chairman burned 150,000 phones. Independent, unofficial, and not affiliated with or endorsed by any company featured.
