Born the eldest son of a poor farming family, Ju-yung Chung worked initially as a dock laborer, construction worker and factory errand boy. Unphased even when an auto repair shop launched with all his assets was lost to a fire less than a month after opening, or his subsequent civil engineering firm lost its assets during the Korean War, Chung never gave in.<\/p>\n
Continually taking on new challenges, he built leading Korean enterprises in construction, automobiles and shipbuilding, playing a leading role in the transformation of the nation\u2019s industrial and economic fortunes. To this day, the late Founding Chairman is remembered as a pioneering business leader whose positive thinking, bold vision and relentless determination never failed to place the wellbeing of people and country at their core.<\/p>\n
