Textile production includes three general steps: the yarn stage, or making thread; the weaving stage, or turning thread into fabric; and the printing stage. Samsung C&amp;T is involved in the overall process, focusing on synthetic textiles such as polyester and acrylic.<\/p><p>As parts of this production process were shifting abroad, Jung saw a clear direction that he wanted to pursue. \u201cI pledged to experience international trade before it was too late,\u201d Jung explains. \u201cI was lucky enough to enter the newly created raw materials department within the company\u2019s Textile Division, which allowed me to start my first sales activity abroad. At that time, working on overseas sales at Samsung C&amp;T Trading &amp; Investment Group was everyone\u2019s dream, so I was proud to be able to realize it.\u201d<\/p><p>Jung admits he then fell in love with textiles after getting to witness sales firsthand and in earnest.

He worked at Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Ho Chi Minh Office for about two years and was responsible for exporting yarn produced in Vietnam to Korea while then exporting Korean textile products back to Vietnam.<\/p><p>Naturally, there were challenges to overcome. \u201cSince I had only worked on trading until then, I had to adapt to completely new experiences including production facility management and shareholder management. Every day was a new learning process, so there was a lot to improve. It was very difficult to take on two challenges \u2013 management stabilization and dealing with competitors \u2013 at the same time.
