After over 50 years in the moving industry, Joseph Song, from Asian Tigers Korea, has stepped into retirement.

Gus Sunwoo, Country Manager for the company, said: “It’s difficult to put into words the sense of gratitude and admiration I, along with countless others, feel for the legacy Joseph leaves behind.”

Gus said that Joseph’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the early days of starting with nothing but a dream, navigating the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry, to becoming a respected leader and visionary, Joseph has exemplified what it means to be truly dedicated to his craft. “Your passion for our industry was evident in every decision you made, every challenge you faced, and every milestone achieved,” he said.

Over the decades, Korea, as a nation, its economy, and industries, transformed in ways few could have imagined. “Yet, no matter how much things changed, one constant remained: your unwavering commitment to excellence and quality,” said Gus.  “Your strategic foresight and ability to see the bigger picture have not only driven the success of Asian Tigers Korea but set a benchmark for what it means to be a leader.”

He continued: “Beyond the achievements and accolades, it’s your integrity that stands out the most. In an industry that is often fast-paced and unforgiving, you have remained true to your principles, earning the respect and admiration of peers, partners and competitors. Your word has always been your bond and your reputation as a person of honour will always be a part of your legacy.”

Joseph will relocate back closer to his hometown in Jeonju, Korea, where he will find time to relax and catch up with old friends and new hobbies. Joseph will continue to retain his work e-mail address - joseph.song@asiantigers-korea.com - to stay connected with his international friends and peers, while also retaining the title of 'Chairman Emeritus' in his daily communication.
