What do you think of Samsung Electronics President Lee Jae-yong being paroled?

Lee Jae-yong, the head of South Korea's Samsung Company, was arrested and imprisoned for bribing his girlfriend in the incident of former South Korean President park geun-hye, and then faced years of punishment. In 2020, he was accused by South Korean prosecutors of illegal misappropriation of public funds, and then began a long road of litigation. Until August 9th, Lee Jae-yong was released on parole and re-entered the prison. I think the chaebol in Korea is really terrible. In the face of such irrefutable evidence, he can still be released from prison, which shows the strength of Korean capitalism. Let's take a look at the details with me.

1. Lee Jae-yong Incident Lee Jae-yong was sued by former South Korean President park geun-hye in 20 16, and was later exposed to bribing the former president's girlfriend in order to stabilize his position in Samsung, and was later sentenced to five years' imprisonment by a Korean court. Lee Jae-yong refused to accept the appeal, and his sentence was reduced to four and a half years, suspended for four years. After that, he was released on parole. Until 2020, prosecutors charged Lee Jae-yong with embezzlement and fraud. Unfortunately, after a year's struggle, Lee Jae-yong was released on parole on August 9th and regained his freedom. In the face of such a trial, many people in South Korea expressed unconvinced. However, in addition to these allegations, Lee Jae-yong has been involved in many cases, so there are still many lawsuits to fight in the future.

Second, my opinion I think that the power of the Korean chaebol to control the Korean business community is too strong, and even such irrefutable evidence cannot be shaken. If South Korea holds most of the social funds in the hands of these people, they will be even more unscrupulous, and there will be more and more acts such as killing people and stealing goods. If the law cannot shake these people, then the law will be questioned by ordinary people, and more people in South Korea will refuse to accept it in the future. This is better for our country, where everyone is bound by the law.
