Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Kun-hee, who had been hospitalized for pneumonia, was discharged on Friday, group officials said.
According to Samsung Group, Lee was discharged from the hospital in the morning and went straight home. He has been hospitalized for light pneumonia for nearly 10 days in Samsung Medical Center in southern Seoul.
“The chairman was scheduled to leave hospital by the weekend but he did earlier as he has made a good recovery,” said a spokesperson for Samsung.
Rumors have been floating around that his health is not good stemming from his absence from work since last Tuesday. But Rhee In-yong, head of Samsung’s communications team, officially denied the rumor, saying that “he is not in critical condition.”
Sources said chairman Lee won’t be in the office next week for recovery, but is scheduled to attend the International Olympic Committee meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Sept. 7.
