When Lee Young-ho visited Beijing for the first time in 1990, he was deeply moved by the history and humanity of this ancient city. In the following years, during the summer vacation of winter, Lee Young-ho went to Beijing to study Chinese. As soon as he graduated from university, he worked in a network company in Beijing, and since then he has started his career as a "North Drifter".
Lee Young-ho has lived in Beijing for more than 20 years and has run a variety of industries such as Korean restaurants, ** companies, and studying abroad. Not only does he manage his own business, but he also works as a broker to assist his younger brother Lee Chang-ho in managing various businesses. Due to his association with Lee Chang-ho, Lee Young-ho has met many celebrities in the Go circle, such as South Korea's Lee Sedol and Chinese Go star Chang Hao.
Lee Young-ho opened the Lee Sedol Go School in Beijing in 2013 to teach children about the game. This university not only made him fall in love with Go, but also with China. He once said that in the process of visiting China's beautiful scenery, he also hopes to meet more Chinese.
