Lee Hae-wook, chairman of DL Group, who was indicted on charges of unfairly supporting his personal company by mobilizing group affiliates, attended the first trial sentencing hearing held on the 27th at the Seoul Central District Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Judge Kim Jun-hyuk of the Criminal Division 5 at the Seoul Central District Court held the first trial sentencing hearing in the afternoon for Chairman Lee, DL Corporation, and Glad Hotel & Resort, who were indicted for violating the Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. The prosecution alleges that Chairman Lee transferred the trademark rights of the hotel brand 'Glad' to APD, a company wholly owned by him and his son, and profited by allowing the subsidiary Ora Tourism (now Glad Hotel & Resort) to use it.
