Hyundai’s founder – a humble farmer named Mr. Chung Ju-Yung – is a man who didn’t just build a global automobile enterprise throughout his career, but also built his country in the process. In fact, Mr. Chung’s stories are so extraordinary that even fairy-tale writers would find them unbelievable.

So, in a series of long-copy ads, written with a fable-like tone, we retold key moments of Mr. Chung’s career. And the best part about all these stories? They’re not fairy tales. The events actually took place.
