Samsung Medical Center (SMC) Friday denied Lee Kun-hee is in a very critical condition.
"Chairman Lee is better," SMC President and CEO Yoon Soon-bong said at a briefing at the hospital in Suseo, southern Seoul. He is receiving intensive care.
"If rumors are true, I wouldn’t be here," said the executive.
Yoon said Lee remained unconscious.
A Samsung official told The Korea Times that the conglomerate is planning to take legal actions against rumormongers.
