Miky Lee, vice chair of Korea’s CJ Group, was handed the Asian Hall of Fame’s Centennial Medal of Lifetime Achievement in Los Angeles. K-pop pioneer Lee Soo-man did the honors.

Lee Soo-man, the SM Entertainment founder who is now key producer at A2O Entertainment, reminded the audience that Miky Lee had introduced him at the same event a year earlier and called him the godfather of K-pop. “Well, tonight, I’d like to return the favor,” he said. “If I am the godfather of K-pop, then Miky Lee is the godmother of K-culture.”
