Son is just a founder. Nothing weird to be a CEO. It's hard to find other asian examples except some industry (for example, pachinko for historical reasons).


There’s a combination of few “big” companies being founded recently, and the stronger attractiveness of China and Korea to young founders I assume, but Japanese-Korean ventures will naturally have a fair share of Korean CEOs (Lotte from the top of my head)

I would also assume entertainment business has also a number of them, but they might also not put it forward for image reason.
