Hyundai Motor Group boss Euisun Chung has been made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for contributions to the arts, culture and eco-friendly electrified mobility.
A former winner of Autocar’s Issigonis Trophy, Chung becomes the first Korean to receive the award – bestowed on those who’ve made significant contributions to British society – since the accession of King Charles III.
He was presented with the CBE by Britain's ambassador to South Korea, Colin Crooks, following in the footsteps of Hyundai founding chairman Ju-yung Chung, who received the same recognition in 1977.
