Peninsula: Starting at the Midnight Diner

A sweet romance set in the Korean entertainment industry, with Jung Soo Jung as the sole female lead.

After transmigrating to Seoul in 2012, Su Chengyou planned to open a Chinese restaurant and live a quiet, ordinary life.

Until one late night, she sat in the restaurant, her head bowed as she twisted a tissue in her fingers, and softly said,

“I hope that one day we can really be together…”

“The kind of relationship where I can hold my head high and walk out with you, hand in hand, in front of everyone.”

He didn’t say another word. He simply typed the first line of code.

Two months later, Vibez went live.

Its five core services expanded into short videos, e-commerce, social networking, payments, and recruitment, transforming the urban lifestyles of an entire generation of young people.

The Seoul Economic Daily wrote: “We are witnessing an internet conglomerate use code to reshape the nation’s economy.”

Meanwhile, the late-night diner still kept its lights on. Only now, a small line of text had been added to the back of the menu.
