So there's some interesting history on the founding of H Mart that doesn't exist in English. The founder of H Mart is the child of a former secretary of former president Chun Doo-hwan, who is believed to have laundered a bunch of money from the Korean government. It's widely believed that some of the money was used to start H Mart, and my Korean wife is cautious about patronizing it because of that.
I wish I could provide English sources, but they only exist in Korean.
