As I carefully read through the book *I Fire the Company*, written by Han Jun-ki—a 24-year veteran HR expert—and published by Joongang Books, I suddenly remembered the story above that I had heard on a current affairs TV program years ago. I believe the turning point of our country's economy is divided into the period around November 1997,

The author, Han Jun-ki, was working in the HR department in Hamburg, Germany, when he was suddenly fired one day. He returned to Korea, rather than Germany, to make a fresh start and began to objectively reflect on why he was fired. He wrote this book by connecting that experience to his profession. My first thought was that if Mr. Han had not been fired in Germany, he likely would not have written this book. I imagined that instead of a book about being fired, he would have first published a

Intrigued by the somewhat absurd title "Firing a Company" and the prologue's description of it as "The Confessions of a Swordsman," I decided to give it a read to see what it was trying to say. Perhaps because I don't read many books like this, it is a book that organizes corporate mechanisms I am unfamiliar with and offers essential advice for seasoned professionals in an easy-to-read manner.
