Picture of the Day: Samsung Owner’s Daughter Divorces

Lee Boo-jin (L), the elder daughter of Samsung Group’s owner family, and Im Woo-jae are officially divorced after a local court on Jan. 14, 2016, accepted the claim filed by Lee, ending their marriage of 17 years. The two received much press about their marriage of an heir to a mega-conglomerate and an ordinary man she met when he was an employee at a Samsung-affiliated company. Im had climbed up the success ladder at Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., also a Samsung affiliate, after the marriage to executive vice president before stepping aside in 2015 to become a company adviser. He had contested the divorce. (Yonhap)
