Master's Council
Upon being diagnosed with cancer in 2000, H.U. Lee decided the creation of a council for the governorship of his organization was necessary. In September 2000, Lee formally created the Songahm Master's Council composed of some of his advisers. The first members of the Master's Council included:
- Soon Ho Lee (then 8th Degree/Chief Master, now 9th Degree Black Belt Emeritus)
- Robert Allemier (8th Degree Black Belt)
- In Ho Lee (8th Degree Black Belt then now 9th degree Grand Master)
- William Clark (8th Degree Black Belt)
- G.K. Lee (8th Degree Black Belt)
- M.K. Lee (8th Degree Black Belt)
After being unanimously confirmed by the Master's Council as the next Grand Master Candidate, Soon Ho Lee removed himself from the Master's Council to focus on his training to become Songahm's second Grand Master. H.U. Lee holds an honorary position in the Master's Council.

“Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a part as it may please the master to assign you, for a long time or for a little as he may choose. And if he will you to take the part of a poor man, or a cripple, or a ruler, or a private citizen, then may you act that part with grace! For to act well the part that is allotted to us, that indeed is ours to do, but to choose it is another’s.”
—Epictetus (c. 55–135 B.C.)
