Is that a pokemon? The chaebol
it's definitely abit more than just "a family business" as @crispy-whiskers says.

A chaebol is, fundamentally, a South-Korean family owned megacorporation, souped up on corruption and ridiculous amounts of political lobbying

Examples of them include Samsung, SK, Hyundai, and Lotte. All of which own massive stakes in the South Korean economy from electronics to construction to tourism.

The Japanese equivalent would be zaibatsus: Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumimoto, Yasuda being the biggest 4. Most of them were either reorganised or outright dissolved at the end of WW2.

Of course, Zaibatsus and Chaebols are heavy influences on the idea of megacorporations in culture, like in the cyberpunk genre for instance.

TL;DR A Chaebol family owned South Korean megacorporation structure.

I don't understand who likes these kind of stories, they're all the same. Seriously, can anyone explain to me the appeal of these storylines?

You don't need to read the words just treat it like porn. There's probably a story going on but at the end of the day that's now why you are there.
