News : "Lee Jae Yong, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics and drama 'My Gollden Life "

First, I'm sure all of you know " Samsung "
And Lee Jae Yong is a vice Chairman of Samsung!


Yes, he is a real life Chaebol and probably a heir of Samsung 
like Choi Do Kyung is a heir of Haesung!

This news is not directly to Choi Do Kyung or My Golden life.
But it's another proof of living how this drama deserves its name as " National Drama "

The story of this real Chaebol not only relate to Korean business but politic as well.
I tried to get this blog out of politic so I don't need to bring the story 
why he had to be in prison. Just google his name with samsung 
and the English news will pop up for you to read.

Okay! Now,  ready to read the news?^^


(ED : MGL's pictures really appeared on the news too)


Dong-A Ilbo reported on Feb 7 that Lee Jae-yong, 
a vice chairman of Samsung Electronics,
was shocked when he watched KBS weekend drama 'My Golden Life' 
while he was living in a detention center.

According to the report, the vice chairman indirectly saw
 how Haesung's family actually looked to the public 
by seeing the "similar" scene of the chaebol appearing in the drama. 

Dong-A Ilbo reported that the vice-chairman said
" This drama had influenced his final statement he wrote in December last year."

Lee Jae-yong, the vice-chairman of Samsung said to 
the Supreme Court on December 27 last year, 
"I think I has the most outstanding debt to our society." 

"I've had a lot more benefits than I ever thought I'd been in the past 10 months, 
going through things I have never experienced before 
and listening to people' stories I've never met before," he said.


On Feb 5, the 13th Seoul High Court Judge (Chung Hyung-sik, the head judge) 
that sentenced Lee Jae-yong to five years in prison 
Lee Jae-yong was arrested on February 17 last year, 
Finally he was released after 353 days in prison. 

From other news :


They mentioned about Lee's full statement that influened by drama "My Golden Life " 
to public. Lee said "In Korea, I am the most debtor. I think that I grew up in
 a good environment and got the best education that I could receive. 
But In the past 10 months, I've been through things I have never met before, 
I learned that I was enjoying more benefits than I ever had before. " 

******************

ED : Sound similar to our Chaebol, Choi Do Kyung ?
He learned a lot about ordinary lives after he left the eggshell from Haesung.
But reading this news, made me wonder Lee's story had influenced writer So 
as much as her story influenced him?
