In early winter, ginkgo leaves blanketed the stone walls of Deoksugung Palace. Mr. Zhao took off from Beijing Capital FBO and landed in Incheon 2.5 hours later. He had just two things to do in Seoul: accompany his mother to a traditional performance in Hanok Village, and finalize a partnership at a studio in Cheongdam-dong.
A commercial flight would have meant leaving at 4 AM. The private jet let him sleep until 9 and enjoy a leisurely breakfast on board — a bowl of seaweed soup at just the right temperature, the one thing his mother always requests when flying to Korea.
