The Vision of Soo and Carrots: ’Connect all foreigners around the world, share knowledge with them.’
Soo and Carrots’ Mission:
To Connect Foreigners and Share Knowledge with them.
In this era of globalization, where anyone can freely visit other countries,
the significance of borders has practically disappeared.
However, despite being global citizens, people often encounter unfamiliar
and uncomfortable experiences when traveling to foreign countries.
Soo and Carrots aim to bridge this gap by connecting foreigners through
technology and content, providing them with language and cultural education they need.
Through the global social travel platform,
Soo House, we open up spaces for exchange among travelers worldwide.
Additionally, through the educational content of Soo and Carrots,
we share diverse information and learning experiences.
Our goal is to create a world where foreigners can feel comfortable anywhere,
like being at home, by fostering connections and understanding through our platform.

The Journey of Soo and Carrots, a Global Startup
Hello! I’m Soo, the representative of Soo and Carrots.
the representative of Soo and Carrots. I've experienced an international lifestyle since childhood in countries like France and Japan, directly facing the challenges of diverse cultures and life abroad. Through these experiences, I've cultivated a sense of gratitude towards many who helped me adapt locally.
Based on this gratitude, Soo and Carrots aim to assist people from around the world in feeling comfortable in Korea, much like being at home. We aspire to help individuals adapt just as we received help during our time abroad. It's our goal to give back to the global community the assistance we received while overseas.
Introducing Soo and Carrots' Content Business
To take the first step toward realizing this vision,
I chose 'Korean Language and Korean Culture' as the medium.
As a certified Korean language teacher, I found existing Korean language and culture education materials targeting foreigners uninspiring and lacking well-structured curricula.
Having lived abroad since childhood, I understood what foreigners desire.
I believed that the existing curricula were not only uninteresting but also lacked a well-thought-out structure. To address this, I embarked on the following initiatives to start with a business that allows individuals to learn Korean language and culture 'more easily and enjoyably' with a high-quality curriculum.
1. Korean for All: Korean Language and Culture Education Materials
We produce and sell Korean language textbooks in English, Japanese, and French.
A distinctive feature is the enjoyable learning experience with the characters of our brand. Our textbooks are available in over
10 countries, including bookstores, convenience stores, and supermarkets. Over the past three years, we have achieved cumulative sales of 600 million won through exports to over 100 countries.
2. Korean language and cultural content on various media platforms.
Lectures
We produced trendy video lectures for the Korean For All series textbooks, making them available through various platforms for study.
Social Media
The easiest means to continuously engage with foreigners interested in Korea is through social media, and currently, we maintain TikTok and Instagram channels with over a million followers each.
Through these channels, we communicate with foreign customers, sharing the latest trends, language, and cultural content related to Korea.
WebToon
Susu, Carro, KP, and Lumi, who came to study abroad in Korea from a fantasy land, share their diverse experiences of Korean life in a webtoon format.
The series is currently serialized on Naver Global Canvas.
