JY Lee steps into the biggest role of his life, but can he navigate both business and politics?

JY Lee steps into the biggest role of his life, but quickly learns the role comes with added complications. Will a deal struck with the South Korean President, or a faulty new phone model, destroy his chairmanship before it鈥檚 really begun?

In this brand-new 10-part series from the 麻豆社 World Service, we take you behind closed doors - inside the billion-dollar deals and the family power struggles that shape global empires. When your relatives are also your business partners, every decision is personal. In these dynasties, the boardroom isn鈥檛 just about profit - it鈥檚 about survival.
