The boss changes every 5 days, and this time, it is officially your turn to take charge!
The '5-Day Boss' is an exclusive 22-day residential program where youth participants experience running three different local spacesโincluding independent bookstores, cafes, community centers, and multi-shopsโfor 5 days each in Yesan.
Instead of bearing the heavy burden of independently managing a store, you will closely shadow the local owners and observe the hidden daily operations of the space that are completely invisible to regular customers.
The beautiful photos, thoughtful sentences, and fun daily episodes you record will transform into your personal 'Boss Log,' and this precious 22-day journey will be professionally produced into a published photo essay book and a video essay.
Before starting your own business or committing to moving to a new rural town, take advantage of this fully funded opportunity and experience being a boss for 5 days in Yesan!
