At the beginning of the era of Samsung Electronics President Lee Jae-yong, congratulatory comments from executives and employees were posted on the internal bulletin board. Among them, the author of “Best Comment”, who received the most recommendations from employees, attracts attention.
According to industry sources on the 29th, Samsung Electronics published an article titled “Challenge for the Future” on the internal bulletin board on the 27th, replacing President Lee’s inaugural speech. This is the same as what was said during the meeting with the president of the company on the 25th after the second anniversary of the late president Lee Kun-hee.
More than 1,200 comments from executives and employees congratulating Lee on taking office for this post. Among them, the author of the comment that received the most “likes” was “Lee Kun-hee”.
“Congratulations, president,” wrote Lee Kun-hee, a professional at Samsung Electronics’ Giheung plant, which shares the same name with late president Lee Kun-hee. As of the morning of the 29th, this comment became the best comment, receiving more than 4,500 “likes”.
The owner of the other best comment was Lee Byung-cheol, a professional from the Pyeongtaek plant. This is the same name as the late Samsung Electronics founder Lee Byung-cheol.
Furthermore, most of the commentators who have received many “likes” have the same name as President Lee Jae-yong and the late President Lee Kun-hee.
According to an official, the number of domestic employees at Samsung Electronics is more than 110,000, so there are dozens of employees with the same name, such as “Lee Kun-hee” and “Lee Jae-yong”.
Regardless of the name, the comments that received a lot of “likes” were left by Kang Seok-jin, a professional from the Pyeongtaek plant. He said: “I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Samsung Electronics employees and their families. Now there is only one thing to do “, he wrote him.
