Sangyup Lee joins Hyundai in June as Genesis design chief and will report to global design chief Luc Douckerwolke, who also heads the automaker’s Prestige Design Div.

Hyundai’s Genesis brand boosts its credibility by hiring Sangyup Lee, lead designer for Bentley since 2012, as design chief for the Korean automaker’s luxury-market entry.
