Lotte founder heading to hospital

Lotte Group founder Shin Kyuk-ho leaves the Lotte Hotel, downtown Seoul, Monday, to undergo a psychiatric evaluation at a hospital. Shin’s mental health has been a major issue surrounding the ongoing sibling feud over the control of the group. The founder has been supporting his eldest son, Dong-joo, former vice chairman of Lotte Holdings in Japan, while his second son and Lotte Group Chairman Dong-bin has argued that his father is too ill to make sound judgments. / Yonhap
