No, I don't, which is why I wrote it's "my assumption". What I know is the life of managers, high performers, Korean culture, and that he died too young. People in that position usually have an awful work/live-balance, too much stress, not enough time for their own personality and self-fulfillment because of a toxic environment.

The average life expectancy in South Korea seems 82.68 years. So he died nearly 20 years too early, with wealth which should allow him to outlive the expectancy by 20 years instead. So yeah, my assumption is he had all the money, but not enough fun.

He reached to top of his profession, high social status, decent money. Maybe it is USA/western obsession with longevity. From where I am, people would totally fine if someone died in 60s after such high level accomplishments.
