Today Korean

Hi,

I'm Hyunku

I am the founder of Today Korean and a Korean language teacher. I’ve been teaching since I was in my twenties, having had the privilege of meeting learners from over 40 different countries.

What started simply as a career choice has evolved into something much more meaningful. Today, I strive to connect with you not just as a good educator, but as a genuine person. I commit to continuing this journey by your side, guided by the three core values I established when I first began teaching.

My Story

I always knew I wanted to go far in life, so I worked hard to become the first person in my family to graduate from college. After graduation, I thought my future was a guaranteed success. Then once I started having to make student loan payments, my dreams of a better life seemed out of reach.

I felt frustrated and helpless, but I had worked too hard to let my dreams slip away. I dove into financial literacy and came up with a system that allowed me to eliminate debt, save more, and invest for my future. Now I empower others on their journey to financial freedom.

Why I Do It

Financial literacy is not a term I ever heard growing up. While my parents did their best to provide for our family, they lived paycheck to paycheck most of their lives. Seeing my family struggle inspired me to aim higher. But despite my best efforts, I still found myself drowning in debt.

Once I was debt-free, I realized that the methods I used could help others like me who wanted the same but didn’t grow up with the framework to make it happen. So I made it my mission to help as many people as possible create healthy financial habits and a better life for themselves and their families.
