Samsung co-CEO, Jong-hee Dies of Cardiac Arrest

The co-CEO of Samsung Electronics Company, Han Jong-hee has died of a heart attack. This was announced by the Management of the South-Korean tech giant on 25th March 2025.

This development has reportedly left the newly-appointed boss Jun Young-hyun solely in charge of the company as it revamps its underperforming chip business and navigates trade uncertainties.

Young-hyun was appointed barely a week ago at the Samsung’s Annual Shareholders Meeting, following his promotion in 2024, to lead its semiconductor division.

Jong-hee, 63, became the Chief Executive Officer of South Korea's biggest company in 2022 and was also in charge of its consumer electronics and mobile devices division.

Samsung said in a stock exchange filing that Young-hyun would be the sole CEO of the company after Jong-hee's death.

The world's biggest memory chipmaker has been suffering from weak earnings and a sagging share price in recent quarters after falling behind rivals in advanced memory chips and contract chip manufacturing, which have enjoyed strong demand from AI projects.

Jong-hee, who was also a board member, passed on at a hospital on March 25 while being treated for cardiac arrest.

Samsung has not yet decided on a successor, its spokesperson disclosed during the announcement.

It's noteworthy that the company has traditionally had a co-CEO structure that divides oversight of its consumer and chips divisions.

Jong-hee joined Samsung nearly 40 years ago and built his career in its television business.

It's being speculated that Jong-hee was the key figure behind making Samsung’s TV business influential on a global scale.

Hence, with his sudden passing, it could yield a long-term impact on its business strategy, particularly in areas like marketing.
