CEO Kim started Harim Trading in 1997 and established Dongwon Phoenix, a business for fabric manufacturing, in 1999 as a CEO. Based on its business model that exports silkworm to China while making less profit and compensating all claims, Dongwon Phoenix has preempted China's high-end clothing fabric market. Kim, who raised 20 billion won in annual sales with 40 partner companies in China, won the Presidential Award in 2002, the Gyeonggi Regional SMEs and Startups Office Prize in 2015 and the Korean Women Entrepreneurs Association Prize in 2016. This year, she joined as the member of Honor Society by donating 100 million won to Community Chest of Korea, and won the 1st Sharing Leader Award at the National Assembly on March 21.
