"Rise of the 1%"

Born in the slums of Busan, Kang Jaeho never had a silver spoon — only bruises, broken dreams, and a burning desire to escape poverty. Mocked by the rich, beaten by bullies, and betrayed by those he once called friends, he makes one silent promise: “I will become the storm that drowns the world that ignored me.”



Armed with intelligence, obsession, and grit, Jaeho claws his way up — from part-time jobs and sleepless nights to underground investing, digital ventures, and eventually… his own conglomerate. As he builds his empire, old enemies return, and the cost of the top 1% becomes clear.
