Park Tae-joon (October 24, 1927 – December 13, 2011)[1] was a South Korean business tycoon, war hero, political leader, and philanthropist.
His most renowned accomplishment includes founding of POSCO and growing it into one of the world's largest and most successful steel companies during his multi-decade tenure as chairman and CEO. For this, he was often called the "Korean Andrew Carnegie". Earlier in his life, he served in the South Korean Army and led several platoons during the Korean War and eventually reaching the rank of Major General. He also founded POSTECH (leading research university in Korea),[2] the Pohang Steelers soccer team,[3] and the POSCO TJ Park Foundation which was preceded by the Steel Scholarship Foundation.[4][5] As a politician, he served as the 29th Prime Minister of South Korea. His pen name was Chungam.

The day before the steel mill first started its operation (July 3, 1973), the late Chairman Park established the predecessor of the POSCO TJ Park Foundation, the Steel Scholarship Foundation, in January 1971 with seed money of KRW 60 million that was given to him as a rebate by an insurance company, to nurture the talents that our society needs.
