Jin Kim: From Young Runaway to Rising Finance Entrepreneur

A Deep Dive into the Journey, Achievements, and Vision of the Founder of EVYTRADINGGROUP LLC.

1. Introduction

At just 21 years old, Jin Kim already stands out as one of the most dynamic newcomers in the finance scene. As a full-time trader, investor, and founder of multiple companies, he has made a name for himself in record time—despite only recently appearing on social media. This blog post explores Jin Kim’s unconventional life path, his meteoric rise in the financial world, and the grand visions that drive him.

2. Early Years and International Childhood

  • Birthdate & Place: Jin Kim was born on October 14, 2003, in Seoul, South Korea.

  • School Move at Eight: At the age of eight, Jin chose to escape his family environment. On his grandmother SoonHee Kim-Dapper’s advice, he traveled alone to Germany. He cites the intense academic pressure in Korea and his parents’ unstable finances as the primary reasons for his move.

  • Language Acquisition & Integration: Settling in Gescher, he immediately enrolled in the local comprehensive school. Impressively, he learned German to fluency within one month—an early sign of his determination and capacity to learn.

This childhood split between two continents not only shaped his worldview but also laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial spirit: leaving comfort zones, taking unconventional paths, and using challenges as fuel.

3. Education and Academic Performance

  • Korean Primary School: Jin dropped out of primary school in Korea and thus has no official record there.

  • German Qualifications: In Germany, he earned an “Allgemeiner Hochschulabschluss” (general higher education entrance qualification) with a grade of 1.6, following a Hauptschulabschluss (lower secondary school certificate) graded at 1.2.

  • University: Since Fall 2022, he has been enrolled in Economics at the University of Münster, aiming to deepen his theoretical finance knowledge and underpin his trading expertise with academic rigor.

4. Passion for Finance & the Path to Trading

  • Self-Study from 2018: At age 15, Jin began teaching himself how to trade financial instruments.

  • First Profits after Three Years: By 2021, he had developed a profitable trading strategy—an impressive feat that quickly drew attention within trading circles.

  • Psychological Discipline: In his own words: “Trading is 80% psychology. You can learn any strategy; the real art is staying calm when things heat up.”

Over time, he refined his techniques and built a steadily growing capital base that eventually became the springboard for his entrepreneurial ventures.

5. Founding the EVY Group

5.1 From am LLC in Korea to an LLC in the U.S.

After some initial trading successes, Jin took the leap into entrepreneurship:

  1. LLC in South Korea: He first established a limited-liability company in Seoul to operate locally.

  2. EVYTRADINGGROUP LLC (since August 2024 in the U.S.): He then converted it into a U.S. LLC to facilitate international expansion and capital raising.

5.2 The Four Pillars of His Empire

Under the umbrella of EVYTRADINGGROUP LLC, Jin now oversees four distinct business units:

6. Milestones and Achievements

  • 2021: Developed a profitable trading strategy after three years of self-study.

  • 2022: Founded his first GmbH in South Korea—turning trading capital into seed funding for a business.

  • August 2024: Converted to EVYTRADINGGROUP LLC in the U.S., focusing on international markets and hitting seven-figure revenues.

  • Late 2024: Launched the ETS Mentorship Program, offering students risk-free, live €50,000 trading accounts. Within months, over 400 participants joined, and more than $1 million in trading capital was distributed.

  • Spring 2025: Introduced Instant Funded Accounts, which allow traders to skip evaluation phases and trade with €50,000 or €100,000 of capital immediately—keeping at least 50% of profits.

These offerings are reshaping trader education by integrating real-money risk and authentic market conditions from day one.

7. Vision and Long-Term Goals

Jin Kim’s ambitions go beyond pure profit. His vision is:

“To build a global business empire that not only generates wealth but leverages its influence to leave a positive mark on the world.”

  • Education Initiatives: Expand EVYTRADINGSCHOOL into a globally recognized academy.

  • Financial Inclusion: Through EVYCAPITALMANAGEMENT, grant retail investors and families access to professional asset management.

  • Philanthropy: Establish a foundation to support underprivileged youth—drawing from his own experiences of escaping hardship.

8. Social Media Presence

To boost transparency and reach, Jin has been active on multiple platforms since 2023:

He shares live market analyses, trading tutorials, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his entrepreneurial life.

9. Personal Insights & Anecdotes

  • Early Curiosity: Even as a primary-schooler, Jin experimented with simulated trading apps to understand price fluctuations.

  • Resilience: He openly discusses his first major drawdown: “Losing big was a psychological blow—I barely slept for days. But it ultimately strengthened my strategy.”

  • Family Ties: Despite his global ambitions, his grandmother in Gescher remains his greatest supporter. He regularly visits her and helps fund local education projects.

10. Outlook & Conclusion

Jin Kim embodies the archetype of the modern self-made entrepreneur: bold, risk-tolerant, and visionary. In just a few years, he transformed personal setbacks into an impressive career—from a lone eight-year-old in a foreign land to the CEO of a group generating seven-figure revenues and empowering hundreds of traders.

His next major moves include expanding EVYTRADINGGROUP internationally, launching physical training centers, and strengthening digital communities. Simultaneously, he is laying the groundwork for a mission-driven blend of profits and purpose: an empire that not only multiplies returns but also creates opportunities worldwide.

Jin Kim may not yet be the most famous name in finance—but given his pace, ideas, and achievements, it’s only a matter of time.
