Ask HN: Is there anyone who is looking to expand their business to S.Korea?
To explain a bit about myself: My lifelong goal was to become a game developer, but I was forced to choose pharmacy as my university major under my parent's pressure. Ten years fast forward, I ended up with a master's degree in pharmacology and three years of experience in a pharmaceutical company. (In Korea, every male citizen is required to serve two years in the army. Alternatively, you can apply to work in a scientific field for three years to compensate.)
As soon as the three-year mandatory period was completed, I had called it quits. That was three months ago. Afterwards, I began to make game in my room.
As a result of fiddling with various projects in my spare time, I was already experienced in Python, Javascript, C++, Obj-C.
Within a month, I succeeded in finishing two simple iOS games called "Jumpy Rabbit" and "Don't Touch 2048". Well, I'm not proud of those two games because they are spin-offs of the popular games (Flappy Bird, 2048). During the development of my third game, I began to feel burnt out. The motivation was dwindling, productivity plummeted. I know this is just a small setback and I will continue to make games. But I see there are other ways to make a living.
Nowadays I keep reading these successful startup articles in HN and think: "Why isn't there such thing here in Korea?".
Is there anyone who is looking to expand their business to Korea, or even localize their game to Korean? Maybe I could help. I don't have any experience in entrepreneurship, but I'm a good learner (my English is self taught) and given enough time, I believe I'm up for most tasks.

Thank you for reading.
TL;DR: A native Korean jack of all trades is looking for someone who wants to expand their business to South Korea.
