So they will always tell me like, oh you're from a country like that. Right? But this time the taxi driver told me like, oh you're from Pakistan? Do you know Zahid Hussein? Oh my god. Hello guys! Hello! I would like to thank you to invite me. You know I've been following you on YouTube and Instagram. It was really fun. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean as you said, you were watching Pijong Sanghaedam and you're my fan. Yeah, right. I'm really honored. I was your fan too. You know what? I've been watching your Instagram. It's really fun and you were talking about like really good things. And you got a lot of fans in Pakistan and Malaysia and Indonesia, Bangladesh, India. You know this is great. So I always wanted to meet you. And today we finally met. Yeah, yeah. There you go. First two. And this place that we're sitting right now is Korea University guys. It's beautiful, right? Yeah, this is the university that I graduated from. So yeah, my name is Zahid Hussein and I came from Pakistan. I came in 2008 as a Korean government scholarship student and I studied here for five years. And then I started working in a Korean company. I worked there for four years. And while I was working, I also started doing TV shows. And the reason why I started doing TV shows, I will tell you later. And at the same time, I was also doing professional MBA. So from 96, I would go to work. And then from 7 to 10, I would go to school from my professional MBA. And on weekends, I would go do TV shows. So that was my life for a couple of years. Yeah, really busy life. But yeah, I mean, you know, everything you do has always a lot of things to learn from. And there's always a good result if you do it with a big objective in your life. So what I've been doing is, you know, after I graduated, while I was living in Korea, lots of people that I met in the university or outside the university, they didn't know much about Pakistan. And I also knew that a lot of Pakistani people didn't know much about Korea. And I was coming to Korea. I told my relatives and my friends that, oh, I'm going to Korea. And one person told me like, why are you going to Korea? There's a war, man. So you know, people think that Korea is only the North Korea. The clear. Yeah. But when I came to Korea, I knew the same that a lot of Korean people didn't know about Pakistan. So I decided to do things that could introduce Pakistani culture in Korea. And Korean culture somehow in Pakistan. It's like a two-way information sharing. And you know, that was my plan. And that's why I, in 2010, we made a Pakistan Student Association Korea. Also called PSAK. We made this student association with some of my other friends with the objective that introducing culture, Korean culture in Pakistan and Pakistani culture in Korea. And learn from each other and make Pakistani students have a good time in Korea. So when they go back, they could help the Pakistani society to grow also, learning a lot of things from Korean society. You know, my audience was very small. You know, only students or some government organizations and stuff like that. So I always needed a bigger audience. That's why I started looking for opportunities in the media. So my first show that I did, maybe a lot of your Malaysian and Indonesian fans would know. First show that I did in Korea was on Arirang TV. It was called Bring It On. So I was there in season three and there were 18 countries in total. I was representing Pakistan. That was my first show. And luckily, I won that show. I became the champion of that show out of 18 countries. That was my start of media. That's how I started reaching a bigger audience to tell about my culture, to tell about my country. You know, when I talk about my culture, you know, Islam is the religion of my country. So I started introducing a lot of different aspects that is related to my country. And at the same time, people started, through me, people started looking at Korea. Like, oh, Zahid is on a TV show in Korea. So people started taking interest in Korean media also in Korea. So this is how the journey started. And after this show, after I won this show, I was contacted by Pejong Sang-Hedam. And then I went to Pejong Sang-Hedam for two years. And you know what happened after Pejong Sang-Hedam. It was a really good show. I'm really thankful to the TV channel which run that show. And it was a good show to educate a lot of people, not only in Korea, but all of them. All around the world. Because that show is now you can watch Netflix and you know, all over the world. And that show was a very educational show with entertainment. Some foreigners coming there and talking about their country, their culture and everything. A lot of stereotypes were broken in Korea. Thanks to that. I can assure a lot of image of Pakistan changed a lot. Right, right. I'm really thankful. Yeah. Not only Pakistan, all of the countries that were on that show, people started thinking differently about that in those countries. And being the representative of Pakistan, it was you know, big for me. I was really proud of what I was doing for my country. And I was really happy. And at the same time, I was really thankful to Allah and everybody who was who were involved in that thing, you know. So it was a good show. I will tell you a story, the level of mind changing in Korea from that show. I got a phone call one day from somebody that I didn't know. And then he says, I'm from Pakistan. And then he said like, I took a taxi. You know in Korea, when you take taxis, the taxi driver is trying to be friendly with you. And they talk to you and things like that. They always ask, where are you from if you're a foreigner? So this person, he told me like, I always tell them that I'm from Pakistan. So they will always tell me like, oh, you're from a country like that. Right? Like, something that doesn't represent us, right? But he always see on the news, there's some problems like on conflicts and stuff. But this time, the taxi driver told me like, oh, you're from Pakistan. Do you know Zahit Hussein? And I was like, oh, my God, this is great. And he was like really thankful and he called me like, I was surprised to hear that. So this journey from these kind of things in people's mind to Zahit Hussein was a big achievement for me. And I was really happy to hear that. So yeah, this show changed a lot of things about Pakistan, about all of the other countries in Korea. And at the same time, through this show, a lot of people in our country started watching this show with English subtitles. And then they started knowing about Korea too. So this was a very two-way directional information sharing and a very nice sharing and educational program. So it was really great. And after that show, I'm doing TV shows all around. And I also do lectures in different places. So just trying to contribute in the growth of this entire world by telling people what I know and by learning from them what they know. This is what I'm doing, man. And today, thank you that you invited me so that I could learn a lot of things from you. You could learn a few things from me and our audience. Learn from us and we can learn from them. So guys, thank you for watching us. I love you, everybody. Or as a professional. Actually, I'm so proud of you. Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you very much. And I'm so surprised that the power of media is really big. It's really right. Especially not only conventional media. We used to have conventional media like TV or newspaper. But now social media. Yeah, YouTube. Yeah, YouTube or all other social media changed the world. I mean, the world has become really a small place because you can share information. For free, this is free information. Everybody is getting free information. And this is changing the world. So yeah, the power of media is really great. That's why I was telling you earlier that you should keep doing your YouTube. This is going great and you are helping a lot of people getting to know about Korea. And you know, yeah, I mean, so I wish you good luck. I'm always here to help you, bro. Inshallah. Inshallah. Inshallah. So that's your job. Like doing media things, doing more events, to Pakistani people and Korean people. True. And exchange to culture. True, true, true. My main job is not media. I'm an engineer by profession. I graduated this university, Korea University as an electrical engineer. Six years ago, and then I did my MBA. So I have my profession in, I was working in energy. But then right now, I'm working on a startup. And I think your audience will be happy to hear that we are going to make an online retail shop in Korea. Because you know, in Korea, every year, a lot of foreigners are coming. And we're trying to help foreigners to make their life easier in Korea, with the help of Korean government, with the help of everybody around us. So what we're doing is, we're making an online shop for selling international food grocery. So foreigners, they come to Korea, but they want to, sometimes they want to cook their own food. For example, I want to cook Pakistani food, sometimes I need grocery, right? So all those groceries are available in the market, but they're not online yet. So what we're trying to do is like me and some of my friends, we're working on a startup, we're making it. We're making a platform where people can buy these international grocery things online. Not only international grocery, but also halal food and food from different countries. All of them, we're trying to make them available on our website, which will hopefully help everybody, especially foreigners, to get grocery from their country very easily online on one click. Our company's name is DuKan.kr. D-O-K-A-N. We're going to launch it in September, hopefully. That is my main job, but yeah, I do, as you said, I do media and I do lectures in different universities or different organizations just to contribute a little more in the growth of South Korea, in the growth of Pakistan, and ultimately in the growth of the entire world. Because we learn from each other and we grow together. That's what we need to do. So yeah, that is why I'm in media. That's a side job. Cool. You're doing great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Because we are trying to make a difference, you know, so yeah, we'll do our best. Oh, thanks for sharing your experience. Oh yeah. It was really fun. I have a lot to talk. Sorry guys, I talked too much, but I'm sure you guys have fun. I will add in. So thank you for coming. It was really good to talk with you. Sure man.
