About Me

Lee Ho-jin is a former chairman of Taekwang Industrial, a manufacturer that became synonymous with Korea's textile and petrochemical prowess. He rose to chairman after his oldest brother, Lee Sik-jin, died. He has now stepped down and is reportedly struggling against liver cancer. In 2011, he was sentenced to 54 months in prison for embezzling $128 million from the company but has been out on bail due to his illness. In 2019, Lee was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of embezzlement and breach of trust. He was pardoned in 2023.
