‘alchedek’ is a compound word derived from ‘Alchemist’ in Paulo Coelho’s novel ‘The Alchemist’ and ‘Melchizedek’.

‘Melchizedek’ is the English notation of ‘Melchizedek’, the king of Salem in the novel, who advises the protagonist Santiago not to settle for what is given but to embark on an adventure to achieve his personal legend.

‘alchedek’ combines the two words ‘Alchemist’ and ‘Melchizedek’ to convey the meaning of ‘believing in dreams and embarking on an adventure to realize them without settling.’

‘Alchemist’ in the Middle Ages repeatedly experimented to turn lead into gold. Though it was a reckless challenge and naturally failed to turn lead into gold, it left the historical irony of laying the foundation for the development of modern chemistry.

‘alchedek’ is an English economic business magazine based in Korea. It aims to become a leading media outlet in the global economy and business industry by discovering promising companies worldwide and delivering their news.
