James Sun, CEO of Zoodango, is the First Asian Finalist on NBC's 'The Apprentice'
SEATTLE, April 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The April 15th airing of NBC's popular reality television program "The Apprentice" revealed that James Sun
( http://www.james-sun.com ), a Korean immigrant to the United States, is one of the final candidates competing for the position of Donald Trump's newest apprentice.
"As a child, I immigrated from Korea to the states with my family and we had less than $1,000 and didn't even speak English at the time. With determination and hard work, even as a child, I began living the American dream and building my own success," said Sun. While earning top grades at one of the country's top colleges, Sun was also running his own investment trading company and became a multimillionaire at the age of 22. "If I am chosen as Mr. Trump's apprentice, I have the right background and experience to be the bridge between the United States and Asia for Trump's organization."
As a successful internet company owner in Seattle, Sun was working on revolutionizing the online social networking industry when the opportunity to participate in NBC's Season Six of "The Apprentice" arose. He was originally one of 18 candidates competing for the position, and is now one of the finalists. The finale filming in which Sun may be hired as the first Asian-American apprentice will be aired live on Sunday April 22nd. If Sun wins, he will be given the opportunity to be the president of one of Trump's organizations.
Sun said that the success of Zoodango ( http://www.zoodango.com ), his online social networking company for professionals, has experienced phenomenal exposure from his success to date on "The Apprentice". The show is aired internationally to 80 countries through Freemantle Media. "Zoodango provides a tool for successful professionals to network, and people all over the world have already created profiles and begun networking online," explained Sun.
"Similar to what I have managed to do with the global reach of Zoodango, I hope to have the opportunity to extend the global brand of Trump International into future Asian countries and markets," said Sun. Regardless of the outcome of the finale Apprentice show, it is evident that both Trump and Sun will continue on highly successful paths.
