On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, Han Jong-hee, Samsung’s co-CEO, tragically died at the age of 63. After serving as the company’s vice chairman and heading the Device Experience division,
Which is in charge of TV, home appliances, and smartphones, Han was named CEO of the electronic behemoth in 2022, according to Bloomberg.
Initially working in Samsung’s displays business, Han rose through the ranks to ultimately become co-CEO alongside Jun Young-hyun,
And he has been with the firm for over 40 years. Despite just being named co-CEO with Han last week at the annual shareholders meeting,
Samsung has not yet chosen a replacement for Han’s position, thus Jun is still in complete control of the business for the time being.
