Kang Dong Kyun Wants to Be Yahoo"s Jerry Yang of Korea

A Korean middle school student, 15-year-old Kang Dong Kyun, is dreaming about becoming the next Jerry Yang. Mr. Yang established Yahoo, the Internet's information search engine, and at present is worth over 1 billion dollars.
Mr. Kang is now earning 10,000 dollars a month by selling a large number of advertisements on his own internet website 'MP3 2000' (http://www.mp3-2000.com).
MP3 2000, an Internet music site in English, was created by the teenager last October. It is gaining in popularity among netizens from around the world; 100,000 people have reportedly clicked their mouses on Kang's MP3 2000 site.
When netizens visit his site, they can download 1,300 music files free of charge by using MP3 techonology and software.
Thanks to the popularity of his MP3 2000 site, Kang recently made an advertising contract with a MP3-related music company based in the United States, and is earning more than 10,000 dollars a month.
He explained that he made his own free MP3 internet site because music fans, like himself, could not enjoy MP3 music files without paying a fee in return.
