Jeon Han-gil (real name Jeon Yu-gwan), a Korean history ‘star instructor’, is a hot topic when talking about Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong.
On the 12th, on Jeon Han-gil’s official YouTube channel ‘Jeon Han-gil over Flowers’, a video titled ‘Always live modestly’ was uploaded.
In the video, Jeon Han-gil said, “Among my college female classmates, I had a friend who was always modest and never pretended to be handsome. . Looking back, I thought, ‘He’s really cool’.”
Then, referring to Vice Chairman Lee, he said, “I went to college with a friend, and he said, ‘I’m good’, that’s not it. He said he was really humble.”
Then I remembered the time I visited a Korean beef restaurant in Busan this year.
Jeon Han-gil said, “I asked the serving aunt, ‘I came here because the line at the restaurant I was originally going to go to was long. Is it okay here?’, she said, ‘Our house is fine. Although the name is less famous than that house, we will taste better meat.’ He also said that the CEOs of Samsung and Hanwha companies also came here.”
He continued, “I went there with my friends, and he gave me a tip of tens of thousands of won to say thank you for grilling the meat well.
In response, he said, “I think Vice Chairman Lee is very wise.” Jeon Han-gil said, “(Vice Chairman Lee) asked how many people are serving here. Since there are 10 people, he said that he gave (tip) so that each person can return about 50,000 won. Isn’t it rude to give too much? He said he gave it to me to add to it. I also thought that Jaeyong Lee was different.”
Meanwhile, Vice Chairman Lee, who had been restricted from employment due to a conviction in the Gukjeong Nongdan case, was reinstated on the 12th with a special amnesty for the 8/15 Liberation Day.
He said, “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to start anew. I will work harder in the future to fulfill my duties and responsibilities as an entrepreneur. “he said.
