Creative challenger
Asan Chung Ju Young, the honorary chairman of the Hyundai Group, was a great challenger with an indomitable pioneering spirit and creative will. Asan took the lead in national economic development by boldly starting new businesses with its unique insight and laid the foundation for Korea to become an advanced country.

Leadership in positivity and action
“There are trials, but no failures.” Honorary Chairman Chung Ju Young has established a dynamic culture that dares to take on challenges without fear of failure based on the power of affirmation and action.

A “pioneer” that laid the foundation for inter-Korean peace
Asan was a pioneer that opened the door to South and North Korean economic cooperation with a sense of historical calling to pursue national reconciliation and mutual development. Starting with a visit to North Korea with cattle, which is called the “last avant-garde art of the 20th century,” the Geumgangsan tourism project and the Kaesong Industrial Complex development project are the last “business patriotism (事業報國)” of Asan that laid the foundation for South and the North Korean peace beyond simple projects.

A trustworthy CEO with the right entrepreneurial spirit. He was a true man of Hyundai who contributed to the national economy by inheriting a modern spirit.
