Andrew Jeong: A Business Mogul Turned Poker Master

Andrew Jeong is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, and South Korean-American professional poker player living his dream. Andrew is a self-made entrepreneur owning a branding and web development company in South Korea. He also owns numerous franchise businesses in the US and Bonsaintz, a clothing brand, which is widely known as the go-to celebrity store. Bonsaintz serves celebrities from South Korea and all over the world. A serial entrepreneur, Andrew also has investments in the South Korean Tourism industry with notable companies and brands such as Corsair and BioMarin Pharmaceutical Company, among many others.

Though a common face in the business world, Andrew is also a celebrated poker master taking over the industry. He started playing poker at a young age and was always a regular cash game player. However, it took him until this year, 2021, to participate in his first-ever tournament series at the WSOP. Incredibly, Andrew has hit the ground running, and he is currently ranked as the number one South Korean poker player. He also currently has five cashes and one final table and is going for the WSOP bracelet.

In his career, Andrew has faced a couple of challenges and obstacles in his path. The most significant challenge he has ever faced was learning how to start his business. The major challenge was finding the right people he could easily trust to help manage his young enterprises. He often found himself trusting the wrong people, managers, employees, friends, and even family with business, which gave him the hardest time psychologically. But he leveraged the experience, turning it into a valuable lesson that he used to better his business management skills, and that's why he is a thriving entrepreneur.

As a poker player, Andrew's most significant challenge was being impatient and not improving himself in the sport. He often took everything for granted, and less often did he endeavor to hone his skills. Fortunately, after becoming friends with other great professional players, he understood his weaknesses, helping craft his game to where it is now.

The successful poker master believes that anything and everything is possible in life. According to him, the essential thing in life for everyone is being self-aware and understanding your surroundings. Andrew clearly explains that you have to examine and evaluate yourself to understand who you are, what you love, what you're good and bad at to really improve. He terms it as the perfect beginning, or rather a solid foundation, for success in anything you want to do. To him, you first have to be self-content to tap into your inner potential.

Andrew is a highly ambitious individual who believes the sky is the limit. He is super hungry for more success in the industry, and he is working hard to see his dream turn into reality. His dream is to grow and scale his entrepreneurship brand, and he is hopeful about expanding his franchise businesses and clothing brand and making more smart investments. Andrew is also confident in scaling his brand in the poker world and possibly becoming one of the greats to grace the sport. He hopes to achieve these dreams by winning more of the tournaments he attends.
