At the New Year’s greetings meeting on this day were SK Group and Chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chey Tae-won, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, Shinsegae Chairman Chung Yong-jin, Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Won-tae, Hanwha Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan, HD Hyundai Executive Vice Chairman Jeong Ki-sun, and other major groups. The heads of state attended.
Before the event began, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Company Chairman Eui-sun Chung, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Hanwha Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan had a brief chat. Hanjin Group Chairman Cho Won-tae appeared to be explaining something to Shinsegae Chairman Chung Yong-jin with large hand gestures.
On this day, attendees lit up lanterns containing their wishes for the new year, such as people’s livelihood, leap forward, growth, hope, and innovation, through a performance that concluded with the will to make it a year of rebirth for the Republic of Korea. Because this event was held during the national mourning period, it began with a moment of silence for the victims and was held in a solemn atmosphere. After taking commemorative photos, no fighting poses or applause were performed.
Chairman Choi Tae-won said, “I would like to express my deepest condolences and condolences to the victims and bereaved families of the airliner accident,” and added, “I am grateful for the dedication and hard work of firefighters, police officers, and medical staff, and the business community has also spared no efforts and support to create a safe society.” “I won’t,” he expressed his condolences.
