school operated by his grandfather. His business acumen began to show during trips into town, where he sold wood to help support his family.

First escape attempt

At the age of sixteen, Chung and a friend decided to travel to the city of Seishin (Chongjin, currently in North Korea) for work in hopes of escaping the harsh realities of farm life.Chung ju yung

(Kowon, in North Korea), where they took up jobs as construction workers. Although they worked long hours for low pay, Chung enjoyed the independence of earning money. Chung and his friend continued the work for two months until Chung's father learned of their whereabouts.

Second escape attempt

The journey that Chung and his friend undertook contributed to his growing interest in

). In April 1933, Chung departed for Keijō with two companions. The journey faced challenges early on, including the apprehension of one of the boys by a family member. Additional difficulties arose when Chung and his friend were deceived by an individual who claimed to offer employment but instead took their money. Chung's father eventually located them, bringing the attempt to an end at his grandfather's nearby residence.

Third escape attempt

Chung once again found himself in Asan, where he remained for a year helping his father work on the family farm. Once his duties to the family were complete, Chung decided it was time to make another attempt at getting out of poverty. He managed to get a train ticket for 70 won by selling one of his father's cows. Once he arrived in Keijō, Chung enrolled himself in a local bookkeeping school, hoping to start a career as an accountant. Things went smoothly for two months until his father managed to find him again, and, after a mild argument, took him back to Gasan.

Harbor (Incheon, currently in South Korea), as a construction worker at Boseong Professional School and as a handyman for a starch syrup factory. After working at the factory for nearly a year, Chung landed a job as a deliveryman at the Bokheung Rice Store in Keijō. Chung's new job offered him room for advancement and he decided to stay on full time. He was allowed to manage the store's accounting after six months on the job. In 1937, the store owner became ill and decided to give the store to Chung. At age 22, Chung became the owner and renamed the store to Kyungil Rice Store. The store grew and made profits until early 1939 when Japan, in its war efforts to secure rice supplies for the country and its military, imposed a rice-rationing system that forced Korean businesses out of trading rice.

Creation of Hyundai

A-Do Service Garage

Chung returned to his village once his business failed and remained there until 1940, when he decided to try again in Keijō. After considering the restrictions imposed on Koreans in certain industries by the Japanese colonial government, Chung entered the automobile repair business. Using a service garage he purchased from a friend, Chung started the A-do Service Garage on a 3,000 won loan. Within three years, the number of employees grew from 20 to 70, and Chung was able to earn a good income. In 1943, the Japanese colonial government forced the garage to merge with a steel plant as part of the war effort. Although his businesses were shut down by the Japanese, Chung returned to Gasan with 50,000
