Lee in public

Former Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee, third from left in the front row, made an official appearance on Saturday (local time) for the first time since April 2008, touring the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas over the weekend. The appearance came more than a week after the government granted him a special pardon, asking Lee to promote Pyeongchang as the host city of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Lee was out of public view after he stepped down as chairman of Korea’s biggest conglomerate after being indicted on charges of illegal bond dealings. He told journalists that not only he but the people and the government need to do their best to help Pyeongchang win the bid. [YONHAP]
