South Korean figures:
* Oh Yeon Ho
*: Founder and CEO of OhMyNews
* Lee Kun-hee
*: Chairman of Samsung
* Kim Chong-Won
*: Founder and CEO of SKC Corporation
* Kim Jeong-Hoon
*: Head of Bell Labs, USA, among other positions

Melagasy (Madagascar) figures:

* Raharimanana
*: Teacher, journalist, and author (in French)
* Michèle Rakotoson
*: Writer, journalist, film maker

This is by no means a reasonably complete list; merely a selection of
figures notable enough to have entries in the English WP.
