Entrepreneur, chef, and owner of “Enough
Salad” reflects on the changes her small
business has gone through in just 6
months and how her dreams are here
faster than she ever expected. As a recent graduate
student, young woman, and now business owner,
Su Jeong is no stranger to changes in her life. It
was when she was in school that she noticed her
stress was causing her overall health to decline
and decided to get a nutritionist to teach her ways
to take care of her body and mind. Inspired by her
own journey, her mission is to bring accessible
healthy food options to the younger population of
Korea. She hopes that students can learn how to
take care of themselves and avoid burnout.
I first met her back in January, which was during
the time of the initial stages of her store. At this
point, it was operating from a tiny space that was
nestled in the back area of a quieter part of Bukdae.
Fast forward to today, she has now moved into a
brand new, much larger space in the heart of the
student area. We have managed to sneak in a few
pleasantries here and there, but she has already
seen such an increase in customers, that there is
not a lot of time for small talk.

This week, Su Jeong and I did manage to have a
candid conversation about all of the quick changes
and she went into great detail about how she is
navigating everything seemingly happening all
at once. With the updated restaurant, it is clear
that she is more determined than ever to generate
interest in the wellness industry and continue to
expand her business.
