- Suh Kyung-bae is the chairman of Amorepacific, South Korea's largest cosmetic and skincare maker by revenue.
- He's capitalized on the Hallyu wave, a keen interest in Korean pop culture that has swept Asia and the U.S.
- The only one out of six children interested in the business, Suh joined the company in the 1980s and became CEO in 1997.
- Amorepacific traces its roots to Suh's grandmother, who sold camellia oil as a hair treatment across the Korean peninsula.
- In the 1960s Amorepacific hired women who went from door to door selling products on commission; some of them had lost their husbands in the Korean War.
