The ancestral home in Jangchung-dong was where Hoam lived during his lifetime. Chairman Lee also held a memorial ceremony for the late chairman at this location last year. Apart from the memorial service, he has held Hoam's memorial rites annually in Seoul.

Additionally, on the same day in the morning, Chairman Lee visited the family burial site near the Hoam Art Museum in Yongin with his son Lee Sun-ho, head of Food Growth Promotion at CJ CheilJedang, and his daughter Lee Kyung-hoo, head of Brand Strategy at CJ ENM, to pay respects.

The founding chairman nurtured Samsung based on the management philosophies of "business for the nation," "talent first," and "pursuit of rationality." The sugar business started by the founding chairman in 1953, CheilJedang, is the origin of CJ Group.
