Jaeyong LeeCollect articles The vice chairman of Samsung Electronics is carrying out on-site management every day, about two weeks before the final sentence for a bribery case of Gukjeong Nongdan, which is likely to be imprisoned again.
On the 6th, Samsung Electronics announced that Vice Chairman Lee held a meeting of the presidents’ team in the set (home appliance and smartphone) division at Samsung Research in Seoul on the 6th and checked the status of next-generation technology development such as AI and 6G.
On the 4th, the first working day of the new year, Vice Chairman Lee attended a foundry facility import ceremony held at P2, Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do, and presented a message saying, “Let’s make a myth in system semiconductors with business partners.”
On the 5th, he visited the Suwon plant to inspect the network equipment production line and held a production technology meeting at the Global Technology Center.
Various interpretations come out on how Vice-Chairman Lee is continuing his active management actions ahead of the final sentence of the ruling and repatriation of the Gukjeong Nongdan case on the 18th.
Some people have a negative view of’showing management to gather friendly public opinion’.
On the other hand, in the business world, Vice Chairman Lee expressed the opinion that as Samsung’s general manager, he found his management color.
Vice-Chairman Lee was released after receiving a probation in the 2018 Gukjeong Nongdan Appeals Tribunal.
It is an evaluation that the’dream as an entrepreneur’ revealed through a trial by Vice Chairman Lee has also taken a step forward.
At the time, Vice Chairman Lee said, “I want to be recognized as a true leader not only by our society but also by the company’s employees,” he said. “As Lee Byung-cheol’s grandson or Lee Kun-hee’s son, Lee Jae-yong, who left great achievements, will not be.”
In a final statement on the 30th of last month, three years later, Vice Chairman Lee said, “We will do our best to make our industrial ecosystem healthier by organically cooperating with academia, venture industry, and small and medium-sized enterprises. We will make a company that our employees are proud of and loved by the people. “This is what makes a truly top-notch company, a sustainable company possible, and this is a consistent dream pursued by Lee Jae-yong,” he said.
An official from a large company evaluated that “Vice-Chairman Lee’s sense of mission as a leader of global company Samsung has grown even further through crises such as trial and imprisonment, the death of his father, Chairman Lee Kun-hee, and the corona crisis.”
