Lee Kun-hee
Although spun off from Samsung in 1993, CJ is still related to Samsung through family ties. The CEO of Samsung, Lee Kun-hee, is the younger brother of Lee Maeng-Hee, the former president of CJ. The family came to the center of the media spotlight when Lee Maeng-Hee and sister Lee Sook-Hee filed civil suits against Lee Kun-Hee, claiming that Lee Kun-Hee had illegally acquired his inheritance by concealing parts of their father's, Lee Byeong-Chul, assets. As a remedy, they asked for shares of Samsung Life Insurance, which controls Samsung Electronics.
