My Take
Yi Won carries something almost no businessperson does: he is a great-grandson of Emperor Gojong and one of the claimants to head the House of Yi, the former Korean royal family. That makes him a living thread connecting a vanished dynasty to the present day, which I find quietly fascinating. Educated at the New York Institute of Technology and working in business, he seems to bridge old lineage and modern life without making a spectacle of either. He doesn't appear to court the limelight, and I respect that restraint. There is real weight in carrying history this gently.
