Lee Jae-yong's Clever Dessert Gesture ... President Lee Beams and Says, 'You Did a Great Job'

[Financial News] Lee Jae-yong, chairman of Samsung Electronics, drew attention on the 12th by preparing a special dessert for President Lee Jae-myung, who visited Samsung Electronics' Onyang Campus in Asan-si, South Chungcheong Province.
After the groundbreaking ceremony for the Mega Project at Samsung Electronics' Onyang Campus and the project's fourth review meeting that day, President Lee visited the cafeteria.
According to footage released from the event, Chairman Lee told President Lee, “We prepared (roasted chestnuts) for the employees' dessert.” President Lee responded, “You did a great job.”
On the 28th of last month, President Lee appealed for people to buy chestnuts, posting on his X account (formerly Twitter), “Please help our chestnut farmers.” After seeing the post, Chairman Lee prepared roasted chestnuts to coincide with the president's visit.
President Lee then picked up a tray, was served, and ate with Chairman Lee and nine employee representatives. The lunch menu included thinly sliced beef brisket, multigrain rice, doenjang stew, steamed egg, seasoned bean sprouts and chives, fruit salad, roasted chestnuts, and a pear-and-ginger drink. President Lee asked, “The food is so delicious. Is it always this good?” The employees replied, “It's even better than usual.”
President Lee also showed interest in Samsung's “Master” system. Kim Ju-u, an employee on the Yield Stabilization Team who is a high school graduate and sat across from the president, introduced himself as the first Master in the mass-production field for high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Chairman Lee added, “Samsung has many employees who are high school graduates, too, and anyone can become a Master after working for 20 years or more.”
Chairman Lee also said that all Samsung employees receive AI training. After hearing this, President Lee expressed concern, saying, “It would be good if everyone in the country received AI training, but there aren't suitable places or ways to do it.”
Meanwhile, on the 11th, President Lee also posted a video just over a minute long on X titled “1111.mp4.” In it, he showcased a mukbang, dipping prepared garaetteok into grain syrup and eating it as he exclaimed, “What a treat!” He added, “You know November 11 is Farmers' Day, right? It's Garaetteok Day, made with our rice,” and said, “Thank you to all the farmers who worked so hard to make it possible for us to enjoy delicious garaetteok.”
President Lee continues to support farmers, including by sharing on X news of Korean-grown sweet persimmons being exported to China and promoting chestnuts.
