To mark the sixth anniversary of the death of the late Lee Kun-hee, former chairman of Samsung, the bereaved family and key executives will hold a ceremony to commemorate the deceased. This year's memorial service will be centered on a visit to his burial site, without a separate official event.

According to business circles on the 20th, the memorial service for the sixth anniversary of former Chairman Lee Kun-hee's passing will be held at his resting place in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, on the 23rd. The anniversary of his death falls on October 25, so the memorial service will take place two days earlier.

Chairman Lee Jae-yong of Samsung Electronics and Hong Ra-hee, honorary director of the Leeum Museum of Art, along with other family members, as well as the presidents of Samsung's major affiliates, are expected to attend the service. Attendees will visit the burial site to pay tribute to the deceased and reflect on the management philosophy and corporate governance principles he emphasized during his lifetime.

The most representative of the business legacies left by former Chairman Lee Kun-hee is his New Management philosophy. At this year's memorial service, a time to look back on the deceased's management philosophy and achievements is also expected.

After paying their respects, Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Samsung's presidents are reported to move to the Changjo Building at the Samsung Human Resources Development Institute in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, for a luncheon. The Changjo Building is a facility used for training new Samsung employees and is also where a bust of former Chairman Lee Kun-hee is installed.

In past years, Chairman Lee Jae-yong has also held luncheons with Samsung's presidents at the Changjo Building after attending the memorial service for the late chairman. This year, a schedule with executives is likewise expected to follow the visit to the burial site.

Former Chairman Lee Kun-hee passed away on October 25, 2020, and his family and key executives of Samsung are scheduled to visit his resting site on the 23rd to commemorate him.
