FEATUrE “ Today, i’m going to raise my hand in class,” the young Yul said to himself. Renaissance man Yul Kwon recalled his turning point during a miserable adolescence when he dealt with psychological disorders, bullying, and depression. looking at his accomplishments today, it is hard to imagine that the Survivor winner was not born to be in front of a camera or behind a podium. “leadership is very much a learned skill,” Kwon says. in fact, Kwon’s successes in law, government, business, and media are all fruits of many painstaking years of overcoming fears and constantly improving himself. sitting down with alist, the 37-year-old conveys an unwavering sense of who he is, exuding confidence you would expect for one of the ‘sexiest men alive’ according to People. at the same time, Kwon exhibits a refreshing authenticity, disarming humility, and deep intellect as he talks about challenges and responsibilities in his life and in the world. A True Survivor the breakout moment came for Kwon when he won the hit reality show Survivor in 2006, after already filling his résumé with names such as google, mcKinsey, and the U.s. senate. in the controversial cook islands season featuring tribes divided by ethnicity, Kwon garnered legions of fans through his sportsmanship, articulate negotiation skills and collaborative strategies. as the first asian american champion, Kwon demonstrated emotional intelligence and leadership that shattered stereotypes of asian men and exemplified the possibilities of transcending racial barriers. “For much of my childhood, I felt like I was a freak.” Kwon’s modus operandi of taking risks, advancing a cause, and constantly challenging himself has become not only a vindication for the years of hard work, but also a metaphor for his career leading up to and after Survivor. “For much of my childhood, i felt like i was a freak,” Kwon recalls, describing his constant fear of getting beat up, sweating uncontrollably in front of people, and self-deprecating isolation and silence after developing a lisp, ocD, and paruresis (“shy bladder syndrome”). “i spent most of my life thinking that i was the only one who felt this way.” Kwon remembers mourning his brother’s close friend who committed suicide, which became a wake-up call. He questioned how a person can cut his life so short. “actually, i think i know,” Kwon thought then. “He probably felt like how i was feeling. if i didn’t change myself, i will live a life of loneliness or just give up hope.” in a process of incremental but steady change, Kwon took small and tangible steps, such as answering a question in class and greeting a stranger every day. “a lot of times people don’t 24 | aUgUst 2012 WWW.<strong>ALIST</strong>-MAGAZINE.COM | 5
