The Luce family has a rich and enduring history of engagement with Korea, deeply rooted in their Presbyterian faith and missionary work. This legacy includes the Rev. Henry W. Luce, an influential American missionary in China during the late 19th century and the father of renowned publisher Henry R. Luce. In recognition of his contributions to missionary work and education, Yonsei University in Seoul honors his memory with a chapel named after him, symbolizing the Luce family’s longstanding ties to the region. Jim Luce continued this familial tradition of engagement with Korea, first traveling to Seoul during his college years. During this visit, he connected with friends at Yonsei University, immersing himself in the vibrant academic and cultural life of the institution. This early exposure to Korea’s rich heritage and contemporary society left a lasting impression on Jim, further deepening the Luce family’s connection to the country.
