Getting Robbed at Gunpoint in Medellin & Bouncing Back - Medellin Podcast Ep. 33

from The Colombia Podcast · host Colombia Podcast

Sangmin has been robbed yet AGAIN!! This time, by 4 armed robbers, just a few days into the COVID-19 lockdown in Medellin. The police did fuck all to help catch the armed robbers and basically blamed him for getting robbed. Sangmin Lee (aka Brandon), traveled around the world before deciding to settle down in Medellin where he opened two authentic Korean restaurants. Getting established wasn’t easy. In the process of setting up the first of his restaurants, he was ripped off by a construction company and lost most of his investment capital in the process. Nonetheless, he endured, pressed forward, and successfully completed the opening. Fast forward a few years to March 2020 and he’s been dealt another devastating blow that has affected him both financially and psychologically. Although he’s still trying to be positive and he’s working to rebuild, he now sadly has a love-hate relationship with the city. In this episode, Brandon relives the tragic moment and tells us how it has affected him and what he’s doing to move forward. For those of you who want a nice RAW dose of reality and a story of tragedy and triumph, this episode is for you.--WATCH US ON YOUTUBE: http://youtube.com/medellinpodcast?sub_confirmation=1
