Seoul City University Professor Park Hoon to Hold Book Concert for 'Salary, Startups, and Taxes'

Professor Park Hoon of Seoul City University's tax law department will host a book concert on July 31 to celebrate the release of his new book, "Salary, Startups, and Taxes." The event will take place at Fast Five Seolleung Central Branch in Seoul.

Co-authored by Kim Min-kyung, CEO of The Way Company, and Gil Ha-ra, CEO of Tax Advisory Gil & Co., the book is subtitled "How Young Adults Manage Their Money." It covers a wide range of topics for young people, from managing money in college and utilizing school support systems to preparing for job searches, handling first salaries and year-end tax adjustments, youth entrepreneurship, startup grants, freelance and platform income, and taxes on overseas employment and income. The book aims to be the first comprehensive guide to the entire economic life of young people, focusing on practical advice rather than complex legal explanations.

Professor Park Hoon is a renowned tax law researcher and has served in various administrative roles at Seoul City University, including Dean of Admissions and Vice President for External Affairs. Kim Min-kyung is a career networking expert and startup growth partner, while Gil Ha-ra is a tax expert with 16 years of experience. The book concert is particularly meaningful as it brings together the professor and his former students, who are now successful professionals.

The event will include author talks, panel discussions, Q&A sessions, mentoring, networking, and a book signing. Mentors from global companies like Google and McKinsey & Company, as well as major Korean corporations and accounting firms, will participate. The concert is designed to be interactive, allowing attendees to engage directly with mentors and plan their careers. The target audience includes university students and recent graduates interested in global careers, entrepreneurship, and financial management. The fee is 25,000 won (including a copy of the book), with free admission for students upon presentation of their student ID. The event has a capacity of 70 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

What young people need most is not to memorize tax law knowledge, but to understand the flow of money and economic activities before taking their first steps into society. I hope this book concert serves as a practical guide for young people preparing for employment, startups, and overseas expansion.
