About the author

Rando Kim

A professor in the Department of Consumer Sciences of College of Human Ecology, Seoul National University. He is a researcher of consumption trends and a bestselling author. He currently does consulting for Samsung Group, Amore Pacific, CJ CheilJedang, Lotte Mart, Cheil Worldwide, Halla Meister, Woongjin Coway, AeKyung Department Store (AK Plaza), I-Fashion Business Center and others, synergizing his theoretical knowledge and empirical experience.
Since 2008, Consumer Trends in Korea has been released every year-end, offering indicators of the Korean economy and consumer culture for the near future to leaders and executive managers in every industry, in addition to general consumers. His critical study on society's fervor for noted brand-name products, Luxury Korea 2007 drew an enthusiastic response from readers and selected as "the book of the year" by The Chosun-Ilbo. Based on statistical data on Korean consumer preferences, he co-authored 2011 Korea Consumption Map. His essay on the perturbed youth of our times, Youth, It's Painful ranked first among bestsellers for 30 weeks in 2011, sold more than two million copies, and was translated into foreign languages in 10 countries. Published in 2012, It Takes a Thousand Episodes of Agony to Grow Up also garnered a sensational response in bookstores, getting onto the bestseller list in the latter half of the year.
