Since the recent passing of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee, an intriguing point of concern has been the apparent formality that his son Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong will rise to the Samsung throne. As his father had been ailing for years, the junior Lee was already recognized as the corporate giant’s de facto chief. But this succession raises issues surrounding large family-run conglomerates in Korea, or chaebol. They dominate economic growth while being the frequent subject of scrutiny over fairness. Could Lee Jae-yong end up leading chaebol reform himself?
