<a href="http://www.powerkoream.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=1102216" target="_blank">Sewon's father had a stroke while he was attending his son's graduation at Oxford (he was hospitalized in Radcliffe Infirmary)</a>, and passed away in 1999, a year after he was transferred to Korea and completed the compilation of the Hanol Principle. Sewon had to return to Korea immediately.1)

 

His father was <a href="http://www.hanol.org/en/founder.php" target="_blank">the founder of Hanol-gyo</a>2) (the religious re-establishment of the 5000 year old Korean national founding philosophy based on 'spiritual enlightenment'),3) a politician (the Presidential Candidate of the Unified Korea Party who ran for the Presidency of South Korea twice), and an entrepreneur (the Chairman of the Hanon Group).4)

 
After the founder died, the Hanon group and the Hanol-gyo foundation suffered critically from the Korean IMF financial crisis.5)

 

As a legal descendant, Sewon inevitably took over his father’s entire responsibility and restructured the foundation: he renounced all of his inheritance and donated most of his remaining personal assets for the recovery.4) As a deputy Chairman of the Hanon Group, he restructured most of its subsidiary companies and finalized his father's major business initiatives including an <a href="http://blog.naver.com/OpenMagazineViewer.nhn?blogId=369crystal&logNo=30167360592&categoryNo=0&parentCategoryNo=7&viewDate=" target="_blank">agreement to develop one of the largest crude oil mines in Iraq</a> (a consortium with Samsung, SK, Korean National Oil Development Corporation, where HI&T was the Managing Partner & Directing Initiator).6) He also <a href="http://blog.naver.com/OpenMagazineViewer.nhn?blogId=369crystal&logNo=30175251983&categoryNo=7&parentCategoryNo=0&viewDate=" target="_blank">acquired an agreement to develop internet-telecommunication systems </a>for the Iraqi government.7)
