more than 50 years. Today, Kia is developing into a true global player. 2000 saw
another milestone in the company's development when Chairman Chung, Mong
Koo was awarded the DSC from the U.S. Automotive Hall of Fame.
The DSC has been awarded since 1940 by the Automotive Hall of Fame, estab-
lished by a group of automotive leaders in New York in 1939. The award recog-
nizes individuals who make outstanding contributions to the development of
the industry. During the past 60 years, the 360 recipients of the DSC have includ-
ed Henry Ford, Lester Colbert (Chrysler) and Lee Ioccoca. Chairman Chung,
Mong Koo is only the second Asian to receive the award after Honda's Hiroyuki
Yoshino in 1998. The DSC establishes Kia's credentials as a world-class player and
will strengthen the company's position in both the Korean and U.S. automobile
markets.
