One knocks softly, carrying a handful of hesitation.
Though sound casts no shadow, the one standing before a vast, silent plane holds their breath — waiting calmly, hoping the world beyond will open wide, that countless others might appear like a rising tide and sweep them forward.
You already know how solid that door is. Its firmness is not merely a matter of thickness, but a sign of how complex and vibrant the world beyond already is. Inside, people are so deeply absorbed in their daily lives that they have forgotten the door even exists. They are too occupied to notice the faint presence outside.
Every day, shoulders brush against shoulders. Some hearts remain unyielding and hard.
Yet there are those who long to roll further, reaching new horizons. Someone dreams of stepping out of this dense, inward world and encountering the infinite “others.” That is the calling of the entrepreneur — to measure the weight of the future.
A bridge, round and solid.
It is here, before countless thresholds, that Gloim takes its stand. Some knock, some turn the locked handle, some wait for another to pass through first. We believe the door opens only to those who listen to the sounds within. To write is to cross that towering wall, humbly and attentively recording the resonances we find. When we share a shy yet determined greeting with the wider world, when we declare our sincere vision, writing becomes the clearest face of who we are.
Gloim was born from this belief in the power of words. We write sentences that serve as bridges — round and solid, like a single smile — connecting worlds. At times with the sensitivity of an artist, at times with the language of a strategist.
Our role is to expand your boundaries and invite more people into your world. Even if an object before you seems still, like the Earth ceaselessly spinning on its axis, certain stories, though completed, continue forever in motion.
So will your story.
— Handong Cho, “Everyone Has Once Stood Before a Closed Door”, April 2014.
