Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong, who is imprisoned in custody, delivered the first imprisonment message that the activities and roles of the Samsung Compliance Committee should continue without interruption from the early morning of the 21st, and uncertainties surrounding the Compliance Committee have been resolved to some extent.
In particular, the message on the day before was spreading rapidly through social networks (SNS) such as Kakao Talk, which impersonated Lee Vice Chairman Lee the day before, so the message was to some extent correcting various speculations and malicious rumors surrounding Samsung after Vice Chairman Lee arrested. Seems to play a role.
The letter-type’outdoor special interview’, which is currently circulating on social media, is composed of the main contents of moving the group headquarters to a third country because it is now too difficult to manage a company in Korea. In addition, there is a nuance as if Lee is dissatisfied with the ruling, saying that he will fill the sentence without begging for pardon. It also contains content that seems to be avoiding responsibility, saying that it was not what he did for the management succession issue.

Regarding this, Samsung immediately denied, “(The content) is absolutely ridiculous and not true.” A Samsung official said, “Vice-chairman Lee has never written a press conference in person,” and said, “It’s just fake news.” However, it is not currently confirmed where or for what reason such fake news was circulated. However, it is only based on the presumption that it is not intended to confuse the market with malicious content against Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Samsung, who were re-imprisoned in the case of Gukjeong Nongdan, and to adversely affect or have an adverse effect on the succession trial for illegal management.
Meanwhile, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong said through the lawyers on this day, “With a pledge to continue supporting the activities of the Compliance Committee, I sincerely ask the chairman and members of the committee to continue to fulfill their original role in the future.” Vice-Chairman Lee is sentenced to two years and six months in prison at a farewell trial for the destruction of’Gukjeong Nongdan’ on the 18th and is being detained in Seoul detention center.
