The late advisor, who passed away in 2019, left a wish for President Lee to take on the chairmanship of the Dueul Scholarship Foundation, and President Lee reportedly accepted the position earlier this year. The advisor was the eldest daughter of Lee Byung-chul, the founder of Samsung Group, making her President Lee’s aunt. In a greeting message posted on the foundation’s website, President Lee stated, "We will take the lead in nurturing the 'next-generation women leaders' who will lead the 21st century by actively discovering professionals with international perspectives and capabilities in various fields of society, as well as ethical individuals who practice service and sharing."

The Dueul Scholarship Foundation is the first women-focused scholarship foundation in Korea, established in 2000 by the Samsung family children in honor of their late mother, Park Dueul. The late advisor served as the foundation’s inaugural chairperson and managed the foundation for 19 years until her passing.
