On Showterview, Jessi interviewed Won Jeong about his skyrocketing fame, video content, and career. Before becoming TikTok famous, Won Jeong was pursuing a more traditional day job.

Actually, I was trying to enter a company. ‘Cause I majored in audio engineering from college. I was preparing to be a sound engineer at a studio, but all of a sudden this [TikTok] platform started booming. I decided to throw my major away.

Won Jeong randomly began making TikTok content for fun, during his time in college.

I happened to start TikTok by chance as part of an extra-curricular activity I was joined when I was in college. So, basically I started it for fun! Surprisingly, I found it’s kind of my thing.

After about a month of making videos, his videos began racking up 10s of millions of views and his TikTok career took off. (Jessi’s reaction is our reaction!)

Well, it took me 16 years to be here!

— Jessi

Every TikToker has a niche, and Won Jeong says his is making short, impactful videos that make viewers say, “wow!”
