The event, hosted by CBS LA anchor Suzie Suh, serves a dual purpose: celebrating individual achievement and funding the WinTESS scholarship program for women in science, technology, entertainment, and sports. Among the high-profile inductees are K-pop icon Rosé of BLACKPINK, actor Dennis Quaid, and cinema trailblazer Lisa Lu. Corporate representation includes TSMC as the tech inductee and the restaurant chain Din Tai Fung, recognized for its global family legacy.

President and CEO Maki Hsieh described the honorees as role models designed to foster cross-cultural collaboration. The evening will feature a red-carpet arrival and a charity casino before the main program, which opens with the UCLA Air Force ROTC Honor Guard. Sports pioneer Hideo Nomo and philanthropic leaders Jerry and Charlene Lee also headline the list of medalists. Proceeds from the evening support ongoing cultural programs, with sponsorship led by Melinda Rogers, CJ Group, and TAO.
