The final session of the GRAFFITI Startup Festival organized by the KAIST undergraduate student club ICISTS was Failcon, which focused on sharing various stories of involving failure. The festival kicked off with a panel talk with KAIST alumni who went on to start their own companies. Here, the CEOs were given an opportunity to share their own failure experiences as well as their thoughts on failure. The invited panelists were ARTSTOCK CEO Jinho Kim (who was also a key figure in the first-generation venture company Gold Bank) and SURFYYBEACH CEO Junkyu Park (who helped transform Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do into the go-to place for young surfers). The panel was moderated by Wi Park, the content creator behind the YouTube channel WERACLE. This article summarizes the failure stories shared during the panel.
