Kim Won Chul has been a magician for the past 10 years. After watching a magic show on TV in his high school senior year, he set foot in an unknown and arduous path to becoming a professional magician. Magicians generally do not reveal their secrets; we can only imagine what Kim Won Chul had to go through in order to learn them all. Five years into his career, he develops a new style of entertainment combining magic and stand-up comedy. He earns prizes in magic competitions and starts appearing on cable TV as a shopping host. Now he is not only a magician, but a multi-faceted entertainer. At Everland, he becomes a star once again by designing an event involving customer participation at the waiting lines for attractions. Having already fulfilled his dream to become a magician, he continues on . This time, this heart-pounding new dream of his is to raise a statue of himself at Everland. Let's hear about what this unique and fun-filled person has to say about his dreams.



About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
