Masa is the son of a relatively wealthy small business owner, not a Korean mobster. His father ran a small Pachinko business, which is a legal yet shady industry where many Korean Japanese make a lot of money.

Masayoshi Son’s father, Sonzo, was involved in various businesses before establishing his pachinko business. Some of these businesses were not strictly legal, including the manufacture and sale of moonshine, as well as running a black market money business. These activities may have led to connections with individuals involved in organized crime, although Sonzo himself was not a member of any criminal organization.
