“The return of Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Kun-hee is indicative of the belief that war with North Korea is not real.” Such was the sentiments of netizens.
Lee left for Hawaii on March 1 for business purposes but returned three months later, raising optimism that there is no concern for war.
Lee is the richest man in South Korea.
Lee usually travels on a private jet. He flew through Tokyo and arrived at Gimpo International Airport last weekend.
There have been rapid news about the possibility of North Korean aggression _ particularly with the movement of long-distance missiles to strategic locations.
It may seem comical on the out-stage that Lee’s return home signals the unlikely prospects of war on the Korean peninsula as well as with the United States and Japan but there are probable reasons why he decided to come back, observers said.
