The younger Lee who would become a registered board member in October shareholders’ meeting in a symbolic and legally-binding gesture to declare himself the new leader of the company and group walked into the head office building Wednesday morning when a crowd of reporters are usually on standby to cover the weekly Wednesday meeting of chief executives of Samsung Electronics business divisions.
Lee who usually takes a private elevator to avoid the press did not shy away at a time the world’s largest smartphone maker embarked on global face-losing recall program for Galaxy Note7 phones on concerns of the battery catching fire while charging.
He casually was holding a gold-colored Galaxy Note7 in his hand upon being surrounded by a flock of reporters. When asked about the battery crisis that led to an unprecedented large-scale recall program likely would cost the company billions of dollars, Lee jokingly nodded and pointed to a reporter carrying an iPhone. He did not attend the weekly meeting.
