2026 New Year’s Message from Sang Gon Kim, Managing Partner of Lee & Ko

The New Year 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, has arrived. I wish all of you good health, happiness, and prosperity in the year ahead.

The year ahead is likely to present considerable challenges and uncertainties, as the political, economic, and social repercussions that began in 2025 continue to unfold. Yet our strength as a society has always been demonstrated by our ability to overcome recurring hardships, move forward, and rise to new heights, and there is no reason to believe that this year will be any different. Lee & Ko will likewise do its utmost to faithfully fulfill its role as a trusted law firm and, in doing so, provide meaningful support to your efforts in these trying times, however modest that contribution may be.

The Year of the Fire Horse is said to be marked by powerful fiery energy. Drawing on the vitality and dynamism symbolized by the Fire Horse, may we all find the strength to break through the obstacles ahead and achieve meaningful progress and accomplishments in the year to come.
Thank you and best wishes.

Sang Gon Kim
Managing Partner, Lee & Ko
