다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the experiences and meanings of university student entrepreneurs' start-up activities. For this purpose, the study had an in-depth interview with five university students that started a business in university in September~November, 2021 and analyzed their data. The findings were as follows: University student entrepreneurs had several experiences with start-up activities including having an encounter with a start-up in university, suffering difficulties as university student entrepreneurs that studied as students and also ran business as beginning entrepreneurs, fighting alone in their relations with various people, and having an intense sense of achievement as entrepreneurs for their business results and social recognition. Their start-up activities had different meanings such as finding a new career path, becoming a true leader, making progress in interpersonal relations, and growing to be more robust. These findings will serve as basic data to develop policies that will promote start-up education and supports in university.
