Venture boom (that went)

In a post couple of days ago about highly educated people with white-collar work experience seeking to make their living with street trading, there was someone selling 1000 won mandu (dumplings) who once had worked in a venture (pench'ô / bencheo) business. It was kind of a telling example of what happened to the venture hype. (Had it been pungôppang/pungeobbang instead of mandu, the contrast to venture business would have been even more poignant.) Fish-shaped pastry pungôppang. Some time ago I did a newspaper article search in KINDS about the appearance of the word venture (벤처), limiting the search only on Chosun Ilbo. It gives some idea of the "venture business" excitement a few years ago. Note that some of the appearances of the term do not refer to "venture business." The number of appearances of the word "venture" (벤처) in Chosun Ilbo 1994 26 1995 71 1996 144 1997 331 1998 340 1999 874 2000 1851 2001 915 2002 843 2003 494 2004 1/4 86 Categories at del.icio.us/hunjang: businesskeepers ∙ money ∙ stratification ∙ Koreaneconomy
