Do you think locations are very important for the success of shop?
In general, I believe that locations are
really significant factor because it can attract potential customers such as
just people who walk on the road near the shop.
Because of the good market accessibility, many people enter the shopping
center even though they don’t have any plan to buy something. However,
sometimes, regardless of locations, some shops are being popular and succeed.
Because they are very unique. For example, shop where sells interesting and
unique items or where have special mood like that. So if they have their own
competitiveness about sales, the location will be no longer big problem.
Why are some shops unsuccessful despite good locations?
I think the reason of unsuccessful shops is bad quality of their products and terrible customer service also can cuase failed bisiness. Aside from that when similar types of shops are in a one area, it can be hard to them to survive because it means that they have many market competitors.Do you think there would be more shops in the city centers in the future?
Yes. In the future, even if a lot of poeple use online shopping mall, I believe the more shops are located in the city.Becuase many part of our work will be substituted machine and we will have a lot of free time and as a result people will go out and having enjoyalbe time in the city centers. It can be watching movie, buying some clothes or items. So I suppose that in the future, the more shops will appear in the city.
in the future lesser there will be manual labor since our work will be operated by machine
Do you thing that governments should plan for the improvement of cities?
No, governments should more focus on improving rural erea than cities.
I think infrastructures and the number of people who live in the cities are enough or somewhere is too much for living.
A lot of people move to city from countryside because there are not enough facilities and infrastructure like school, hospital, shopping center. It makes imbalance of population and living quility between city and countryside.
So my conviction is that governments should plan for the improvement of rural side than cities.
(So cities are too complicated and have a lot of problems such as air polluction, treffic jam and inflation like that.
we don’t need to improve our cities. In now, more important thing is thinking about how can we conserve our nature.)

Do you think about the increase of high-rise building in cities?
High-rise buildings are created due to the lack of space but in my case I think people should no longer build high-rise building in the citiy. I believe that we already have enough high-rise buildings. Becuase when I walk in Seoul, I can see a lot of empty buildings. And I heard the news that the number of buildings is more than the number of people who live in there. So my conviction is that we don't need to think about the increase the number of high-rise buildings in cities.
