It was recently revealed that Lee Jae-yong, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, and Hong Ra-hee, former director of the Leeum Museum of Art, visited Haeinsa Temple in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, on the 1st. That day marked the 52nd anniversary of Samsung Electronics' founding.

The two visited Haeinsa Temple, where the 49th-day memorial service for the late Chairman Lee Kun-hee was held, without any attendants to mark the first anniversary of his passing. After spending a night in Uiryeong, Gyeongnam, where the birthplace of Samsung Group founder Hoam Lee Byung-chul is located, Vice Chairman Lee and former Director Hong reportedly visited Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan on the 2nd.

A business circle official stated, "It appears that Vice Chairman Lee, feeling regretful and sorry for causing concern to his mother due to his long imprisonment, took time out of his busy schedule to accompany and comfort her."
