A change of tectonic scales is presenting itself in the online shopping industry with the introduction of the new shopping trend, social-commerce. It shows immense promise as it is a great way for consumers to purchase products at fractions of the price and companies to generate some word of mouth. Ticket Monster is a Korean company that brought the trend into the country, with all five founders in their twenties and the company being a huge success in only a year. Two out of the five founders are KAIST Electrical Engineering alumni and we had the opportunity to interview one of them.
