The Atomians
Though Kim was born a female, she could never once live a life of a lady.After losing her parents at an early age, Kim had always lived in poverty. The sole purpose of Yun-Sook Kim's life was to be responsible for her four younger siblings. Though she had tried everything she could to escape poverty, not much had changed even after getting married. There were times when it looked like she was doing well, as she opened up a martial arts gym and a studyroom; however, when the Asian economic crisis hit, it was as if Kim and her family were pushed to the edge of the cliff. Overnight, she was forced to move into a run-down apartment - paying 300,000 KRW a month for rent. She was desperate to make even 2 million KRW for her family's survival, and that was when she encountered Atomy.
The ultimate remark that echoed in her heart
"The only hope when there is no hope, is to have hope."
Those who have tasted failure have to make a critical decision. They either have to take on a new challenge, risking another failure; or they have to accept life because they are scared of failing again. Kim chose the latter. Kim was just getting by on a daily basis when she was introduced toAtomy's cosmetic product (the early model of Skin Care System The Fame). She was still reluctant because of her previous experiences with network marketing, but everything changed when she heard the following words at the seminar.
"The only hope when there is no hope, is to have hope." People ponder using reason, but make decisions emotionally. Then people justify with their reason the decision that they had made emotionally. Such is the nature of humans, and IM Yun-Sook Kim was just that kind of person. There was no objective data at the time that could ensure her success. Was she not nervous? "Yes, I was nervous, but I still made the decision. Not long after I was able to justify my decision. It was the products."
"You're going to sell make-up with that face?"
IM Yun-Sook Kim confesses that though she had good products in her hands, Atomy business was still a big challenge. She had thought that all she needed was the label that the products were made inKorea AtomicEnergy Research Institute, and a news report that Atomy's make-up was 100 times better than other brands. She couldn't be more wrong. Nevertheless, Kim is living a life of success now. When asked when the turning point of the business was, she responded, "Don't you even know the famous story?" Kim says she visited a center in Uijeongbu when she was a Diamond Master. At the center, she heard someone say to her, "You're going to sell make-up with that face?"
Kim expresses that looking back now, she had lived a very busy life, and that she was not very good at looking after her own looks. She said that she had sold cosmetic products, but she was not fond of using them herself. But after using Atomy's make-up steadily, she found that her skin had improved tremendously. She thus fell in love with Atomy's products. After that, she became more confident in explaining Atomy's products to others, and her business sped up. "It was important to be an avid user of the products myself. I could see the value of the products even more after becoming an avid user. After that, the products will just speak for themselves. And when the vision of Atomy business is shared with the consumers, that's when they will become contractors."
2016 - the year that has showed me Atomy's vision and worth
Kim encountered Atomy when she was at the edge of her life. She just ran forward, without even looking to her left or right. Someone said that the level of intensity, determined the speed of the business. Being desperate, Kim was not reluctant to sponsor her partners in Korea and overseas. And as Atomy Taiwan was launched, her business started to pick up fast. As if life was making up for Kim's past, in an instant Kim and her family were living a life of success.
Then one day, tragedy struck Kim's life. Though she was living a life of success, her health had caught up with her. She had once again collapsed due to the sudden tragedy. It seemed like her life was over, as Kim had distanced herself from everything for a year. She thought everything was on hold, but in reality her business was growing more than ever before. Kim's family and her partners didn't leave her side during this difficult time. "This was when I was able to see Atomy's vision and love. I realized that I had to be responsible not just for my family, but for my partners' success as well."
Reborn as an icon of hope
In November of last year, Yun-Sook Kim stepped on stage during Success Academy in Kintex, Ilsan for her promotion to Imperial Master, the highest rank in Atomy. She wore a white dress, as if she was a swan, with a smile that was brighter than ever. "I am happier now than my wedding day. I feel like I've received a life-time worth of blessing and congratulations."
Then Kim continued with her promotion speech. "All of us are meant to be swans, but we live our lives as if we are ugly ducklings because of what life throws at us. Though I could not fly because I had no wings, now I can fly like a swan because of Atomy." That was the moment Kim had become an icon of hope for the members who came from humble backgroundswhile dreaming of becoming a swan. Imperial Master Yun-Sook Kim says that her success was possible because it was realized together with other members. That is why she says this accomplishment is even more valuable. She says she is always ready. "I am ready to go wherever I am needed. I want to help other people to become successful as well."
