Cited sources do not establish notability, and could not find anything more convincing. TheLongTone (talk) 14:50, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

• weak keep: Coverage in a Korean source [1] and reviews of a book he co-authored [2] and [3] Oaktree b (talk) 15:57, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

  The NYT ref does not seem to be a review from what I can see. The second is a vanity publisher & therefore effectivlt self-published.TheLongTone (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

• keep: Notable, sources, has written a book. --McSyl (talk) 16:57, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

  Merely having written a book isn't enough to meet the relevant standard. Indeed, the usual rule-of-thumb is that an author has to have received multiple reviews for each of multiple books in order to qualify. XOR'easter (talk) 21:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

• Delete: Not enough coverage to meet WP:NAUTHOR. The NYT source above is not actually a review, and instead just offers a trivial mention of him and his book; the rest of the article is about something completely different. The other link is not an independent review either. The Maeil Business News source is the best available, but aside than that I can't find anything about him at all. Appears to just be a WP:RUNOFTHEMILL businessman who also wrote a book. McSyl, I recommend you strike out your vote because simply writing a book does nothing to contribute to notability. I could write a book right now and pay for it to be published. That obviously does not make me notable enough for a Wikipedia article. C F A 💬 00:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
• Delete Coverage doesn't meet WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG. No indications of notability elsewhere in the citations or from a quick search. nf utvol (talk) 14:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Delete - does not meet notability as noted in the WP:PROF test. He appears to be little more than an adjunct and retired run of the mill businessman. Bearian (talk) 00:56, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
