Shin Kyuk-ho
Shin Kyuk-Ho (Japanese: Takeo Shigemitsu, born 3 November 1921) is a Korean businessman. He founded and led the Lotte group.
Career
Shin is the founder of the Lotte group. He was born in Ulsan, Korea in 1922 and founded Lotte in 1948, which grew from selling chewing gum to children in post-war Japan to becoming a major multinational corporation with overseas branches in dozens of countries and products shipped worldwide. It is now South Korea's eighth largest conglomerate.
Shin was impressed with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) and named his company Lotte after the character Charlotte in the novel.
In 2005, Shin was ranked 387th on Forbes magazine's World's Richest People list, and moved up to 136th place in 2006. He currently resides in South Korea for odd months and in Japan for even months. However, reporters have noticed that Shin has been staying in South Korea since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan.
Shin started his company two years after graduating from Waseda Jitsugyo High School (Japanese: 早稲田実業学校) in Tokyo.

Shining Awake
by: CrematoryYou are so fixed with yourself
That you can't behold your life passing you by
Wake up brisk before you vanity breaks you
Open your eyes while you still can
When you need me - just before the memory you
Hear my voice coming through your mind
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
Your friends suffocated by your ego
Your siblings haven't known you for a long time
Even death refuses to tread on your doorstep
Ensued the false passage all your life
When you need me - just before the memory you
Hear my voice coming through your mind
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
No one here that misses you again
No one here to show you how to fly
Have no respectt for life
Have no revernce for death
Mercy a world used by losers
Pain and sorrow gifts from heaven
Never will you love
Never will you live
When you need me - just before the memory you
Hear my voice coming through your mind
When you need me - just before the memory
Hear my voice coming through your mind
