United States, 22nd May 2026 – Huey is the daughter of a prominent South Korean chaebol family, a dynasty that controlled vast wealth, employed thousands, and expected absolute loyalty and silence. When she was four years old, her world was upended. She left Seoul for Los Angeles, not on a private jet but through the fog of a childhood she would spend decades trying to make sense of it.

The Attorney Turned Author Bares Her Soul in a Cinematic, Unforgettable Debut That Reads Like a Thriller and Heals Like a Prayer

LOS ANGELES, CA – 27 April – What happens when the family name that you’re meant to protect becomes the very thing that shatters you?  What happens when you trade chauffeurs for bus passes, palatial halls for silent nights in a foreign land, and still manage to claw your way to the top of the legal profession, only to discover that success is loud, but loneliness is louder?

Today, Huey Choi launches Who Stole My Pork Belly?, her debut memoir.  As a veteran corporate bankruptcy attorney, she has spent twenty-five years navigating the high-stakes world of BigLaw while quietly carrying a past that reads like a K-Drama intertwined with a Greek tragedy.

This isn’t a celebrity tell‑all, nor is it a self‑help guide disguised as a memoir.  It is a raw, lyrical, and deeply honest account of a woman who was born into one of South Korea’s most powerful chaebol families, only to have her life upended at age four by a sudden, traumatic move to Los Angeles, trading a dynasty for uncertainty. 

WHY THIS BOOK WILL CAPTURE MILLIONS

A Hook for Every Reader

• For fans of Crying in H Mart, Educated, The Glass Castle, and When Breath Becomes Air – Huey’s voice is intimate, unsentimental, and relentlessly honest. She does not ask for pity. She invites you to sit with her in the discomfort of the in‑between.
• For the corporate crowd – Voted a top 5% attorney in America writing about resilience, bankruptcy (both financial and emotional), and the art of rebuilding. This is a book for every lawyer, executive, and entrepreneur who has ever felt like an imposter.
• For the Korean culture wave– With BTS commanding global headlines and Korean storytelling reshaping platforms like Netflix, Huey’s memoir arrives at a cultural inflection point. She draws readers into the guarded world of a chaebol family, weaving in tender memories, her late grandmother’s Korean fried chicken, a comforting stew quietly bubbling in a ttukbaegi, and the gentle warmth of a celadon teacup, each a subtle act of quiet defiance.
• For the animal lover – A central thread of the book is Huey’s rescue dog, Charlotte, a disabled pup, who, as she puts it, “rescued me right back.”  This is a story for anyone who has found healing in the eyes of an abandoned animal.
• For the solo travelers and Foodies – Huey’s healing journey takes her through European cafés, Asian night markets, and solo oceanic vistas. The book includes a photo section of her travels, unvarnished, unglamorous, and deeply moving.

What Makes This Debut Different

Most memoirs of hardship follow a familiar arc: struggle, triumph, lesson learned.  Huey disrupts that formula. She writes with the precision of a lawyer and the heart of a poet. Every chapter is a revelation:

• The dynasty that fell overnight – Not through scandal or war, but through a quiet, unexplained collapse that left a four‑year‑old girl wondering why love had a passport and a price.
• The American dream, shift by shift – From a mother wiping down diner tables to a ceiling dripping water into a bucket, Huey paints financial hardship not as a montage but as a lived, relentless geography.
• The glass tower – Law school. The Bar. BigLaw. Huey achieves what immigrants are taught to aspire. But she finds that success without connection is its own kind of solitary confinement.
• Loss upon loss – A marriage that ends. Miscarriages that are never named. A family legacy that demands silence. Huey writes about each loss with a restraint that makes every sentence hurt and heal.
• The fall of the conglomerate – While she rebuilds her life, the Choi empire crumbles. Greed, gaman, grace, grief and gratitude, each word becomes a chapter.
• The warmth of a celadon teacup – Huey’s Korean rituals are not decorative, they are lifelines. The simple act of sitting with tea before the chaos begins becomes a “prayer before the prayer”.
• Charlotte – A disabled rescue dog who teaches Huey that love does not have to be earned, it simply arrives.

PRAISE FROM EARLY READERS

“A knockout debut. Huey Choi writes like she’s been doing it for decades – sharp, tender, and utterly unforgettable. This memoir will find its way into your bones and refuse to leave.”
– Early Reader Review

“I’ve never read a memoir that so perfectly balances legal precision with raw emotional excavation. Choi’s voice is a revelation.”
– Advance Praise, Anonymous Editor

“This book made me cry, laugh, and call my mother. It is a gift to anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t belong anywhere.”
– Advance Reader ARC

ABOUT THE AUTHOR (THE REAL STORY-BEHIND-STORY)

Huey Choi is a seasoned attorney with over twenty‑five years of experience in corporate bankruptcy and creditors’ rights. She has been voted in Best Lawyers in America, a peer‑review recognition that places her among the top 5% of U.S. attorneys. A graduate of the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, she navigated the high‑stakes world of BigLaw while quietly carrying the weight of her past.

But the Bio line does not tell the full story.

Huey is the daughter of a prominent South Korean chaebol family, a dynasty that controlled vast wealth, employed thousands, and expected absolute loyalty and silence. When she was four years old, her world was upended. She left Seoul for Los Angeles, not on a private jet but through the fog of a childhood she would spend decades trying to make sense of it.

In the pages of Who Stole My Pork Belly?, Huey reveals for the first time:

• The truth behind her family’s decision to flee South Korea, and the cost of protecting a name that never protected her.
• The silent years of emotional and financial hardship, with a single mother who worked tirelessly and prayed alone at night.
• The pressure to perform, to become a lawyer, to represent a legacy that had already abandoned her.
• The marriage that failed. The children that never came. The cult‑like expectations of a family that demanded grace while offering none.
• The healing she found not in therapy but in her late grandmother’s Korean fried chicken, a comforting stew quietly bubbling in a ttukbaegi, the warmth of a pale celadon teacup, and the unconditional love of a disabled rescue dog.

Huey Choi is also the founder and CEO of Snubbed, LLC, a company she launched in 2017 to support animal welfare initiatives. Through Snubbed Hats, she raises funds to feed and rehabilitate snubbed dogs, the ones no one else wanted. She lives in Southern California with her three rescue dogs, Angel, Portia, and Captain, and cares for her elderly mother.

A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR (EXCLUSIVE)

“I wrote this book for the person who feels like they are performing a life instead of living one. I wrote it for the immigrant who is tired of being the model minority. I wrote it for the lawyer who wins cases but loses sleep. And I wrote it for anyone who has ever loved a dog more than a family member.”
~ Huey Choi

United States, 22nd May 2026 – As the cryptocurrency industry continues to mature, competition among exchanges is shifting beyond simple trading volume. Security architecture, regulatory compliance, liquidity depth, infrastructure performance, and user experience are becoming the key standards that define the next generation of digital asset platforms. Against this evolving landscape, COGIXEx Exchange, a subsidiary of Exchange Coin Global Inc, is positioning itself as a global platform focused on compliant growth, secure trading, and scalable blockchain infrastructure.

Established in 2024, Exchange Coin Global Inc was created with the objective of connecting traditional financial systems with the rapidly expanding Web3 economy. Through the development of COGIXEx Exchange, the company is building a digital asset trading ecosystem designed to serve both retail traders and institutional participants. By combining centralized exchange efficiency with long-term blockchain innovation, the platform aims to support a more transparent and sustainable global crypto market.

COGIXEx Exchange currently offers a range of digital asset services, including spot trading, derivatives trading, C2C transactions, custody solutions, and blockchain-based financial products. The platform supports major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), while continuing to expand its offerings in areas including perpetual contracts, quantitative trading systems, and professional API access for advanced users and institutions.

Security remains one of the platform’s primary operational priorities. With the crypto sector having faced multiple security breaches and liquidity-related incidents in recent years, investor demand for safer trading environments has increased significantly. To address these concerns, COGIXEx Exchange has implemented a multi-layered security framework that includes cold wallet asset storage, multi-signature authorization mechanisms, distributed server architecture, MPC security technology, and real-time risk monitoring systems. The platform also highlights reserve transparency and blockchain verification mechanisms aimed at improving operational trust and user confidence.

Alongside security development, COGIXEx Exchange is placing strong emphasis on regulatory alignment and international market expansion. According to the company, Exchange Coin Global Inc operates under a compliance-oriented framework and has obtained a Money Services Business (MSB) registration issued by FinCEN in the United States. The company is also advancing its global strategy across multiple regions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, Australia, Japan, and parts of Latin America.

To support the growing demands of institutional and high-frequency trading, the exchange is developing a high-performance matching engine designed to enhance transaction throughput, reduce latency, and improve execution efficiency. This infrastructure is intended to support increasing liquidity requirements as the global digital asset market becomes more institutionalized and technologically advanced.

In parallel, COGIXEx Exchange is expanding into broader blockchain and decentralized finance integration. The platform’s future roadmap includes decentralized trading functionality, cross-chain interoperability, on-chain settlement systems, DeFi-related financial services, and privacy-focused blockchain infrastructure. Technologies such as IPFS distributed storage, Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanisms, and smart contract systems are also part of the ecosystem’s longer-term technical development strategy.

Community growth and investor education are also becoming important areas of focus. The platform plans to introduce social trading features, educational resources for emerging crypto users, and additional investor protection mechanisms intended to improve transparency and reduce participation barriers. By integrating centralized trading efficiency with evolving decentralized finance technologies, COGIXEx Exchange is seeking to strengthen its role within the next phase of global blockchain adoption.

As regulatory frameworks continue to develop and institutional participation in the crypto market expands, exchanges with stronger compliance standards, scalable infrastructure, and sustainable operational models are expected to play an increasingly significant role in the digital asset economy. Through its long-term development strategy, COGIXEx Exchange and Exchange Coin Global Inc aim to contribute to the continued evolution of global blockchain-based financial systems.

Unique AI-powered platform delivers data-driven negotiations, strategic logistics insights, and conversational access.

Hong Kong S.A.R., 22nd May 2026 – Bizlysis.ai today introduced its AI Agent, a unique solution that redefines how shippers, carriers, and logistics consultants manage freight procurement. Moving beyond rigid annual or quarterly bidding cycles, the AI Agent turns transportation capacity into a dynamic, continuously optimized business asset.

The platform delivers the following core capabilities that address the most persistent pain points in global supply chain management.

Data-Backed Negotiations with Lane-Specific Forecasts

For decades, freight negotiations have been reactive—anchored to historical rates and instinct. The AI Agent fundamentally changes the game. It generates accurate, lane-specific forward-looking rate forecasts up to 24 weeks ahead, powered by TCN + Transformer models that ingest real-time market data, news, and capacity signals.

Procurement teams no longer guess what rates will be. They know. With predictive market intelligence as their benchmark, they enter negotiations from a position of strength – challenging carrier offers with data, not hope. The result is not just better contract terms, but contracts that align with actual future market conditions. Companies stop overpaying for underperforming lanes and start securing rates that reflect tomorrow’s reality, not yesterday’s trends.

What makes this capability truly unique is the integration of quantitative and qualitative signals—from geopolitical events to port congestion – directly into the forecasting engine. Every rate prediction comes with an explainable rationale, enabling procurement leaders to defend their negotiation stance with confidence.

Automated Weekly Freight Reports for Followed Routes

Welcome to route management. Bizlysis.ai presets popular flight and ocean routes for users. You can directly view the latest AI-generated market analysis report or search and add your own routes. Once a route is followed, the system automatically pushes a fresh AI-powered freight analysis report every week – no manual intervention required. Each report includes rate forecasts, capacity trends, news summaries, and actionable recommendations, keeping logistics teams always ahead of market movements.

Strategic Insights for Logistics Consultants

For logistics consulting firms and internal strategy teams, the AI Agent acts as a powerful analytical engine. It enables rapid, evidence-based due diligence on existing logistics operations, uncovers hidden cost-saving opportunities, identifies network optimizations, and helps design more resilient, future-proof supply chain strategies. What once took weeks of manual data crunching can now be accomplished in minutes.

Built for the Real World

The Bizlysis.ai AI Agent is currently focused on major global trade lanes, ingesting real-time operational data, news, and financial signals. It is designed for freight forwarders, shippers, and logistics consultants who need to move from reactive, periodic procurement to a continuous, intelligence-driven workflow.

About Bizlysis.ai
Bizlysis.ai combines frontier AI – including time-series forecasting, agentic LLM frameworks, and debating systems – with deep logistics domain expertise. The company helps supply chain professionals reduce costs, strengthen carrier relationships, and build significantly greater supply chain resilience.
