The first solo album by Kim Hyuk Gun (김혁건), "Warrior", released on November 1, 2007, includes a song called "You Can Do It" (넌 할수있어). Eight years later, in 2015, a single of the same title followed, and in September of the next year a book of the same title was published. Along the way, the title also became the name of his talks.
This article separates Kim Hyuk Gun's song, book, talks and broadcasts that share this title and lists them in order of release.
