Sukhee Kang
Former Mayor
City of Irvine
|
|
|
Like many young immigrant couples, Sukhee Kang and his wife Joanne started a family after settling into their new life in America and Orange County, after immigrating from South Korea in 1977. Through their hard work and smart investments, they also demonstrated their success as entrepreneurs, and in the world of business.
Sukhee then turned his attention to community and public service. The Los Angeles riots in 1992 caused massive damage in the Korean community, and demonstrated that despite its size, the community was sorely lacking in political clout - or even visibility... In 2008 he became the first-ever Korean American mayor of a U.S. city larger than 100,000.
