Businesswomen from massive business conglomerates

The Korea News Plus will start a series of highlighting businesswomen related to South Korea’s chaebol, which refer to massive business conglomerates like Samsung, Hyundai, SK, and LG.

The sprawling groups have dominated the Korean economy over the past few decades. Their founding families tend to exercise full control despite small direct shareholdings.

In terms of leadership change of chaebol, father-to-son power transfer was typical. But recently, an increasing number of businesswomen took charge of the stewardship.

Some are still seemingly happy with their traditional roles of housewives, for example.
