[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Shin Chun-ho, chairman of Nongshim Group, passed away on the 27th, and his nephew Shin Dong-bin, chairman of Lotte Group, is expected to be unable to pay his respects at the funeral hall. Chairman Shin Chun-ho was the third brother of the late Shin Kyuk-ho, honorary chairman of Lotte Group and father of Shin Dong-bin.


Shin Dong-bin is currently staying in Japan, and it seems unlikely he will attend due to COVID-19 self-quarantine procedures. Former vice chairman of Lotte Holdings Japan, Shin Dong-joo, is also reported to be staying in Japan. Both Shin Dong-bin and Shin Dong-joo sent only condolence wreaths. Previously, when the late honorary chairman Shin Kyuk-ho passed away last year, Shin Dong-won, vice chairman of Nongshim, stayed at the funeral hall for three days and accompanied the funeral procession.



The funeral hall for Chairman Shin Chun-ho was organized mainly by his eldest son, Shin Dong-won, vice chairman. Seo Kyung-bae, chairman of Amorepacific Group and son-in-law married to Shin Chun-ho’s youngest daughter Shin Yoon-kyung, and the second son Shin Dong-yoon, vice chairman of Yulchon Chemical, visited the funeral hall around noon. Shin Jun-ho, chairman of Purmil, also arrived at the funeral hall around 1 p.m.
