Samsung Electronics co-CEO Jong-Hee Han died from a heart attack on Tuesday at age 63, the company confirmed.
Han, who took over as CEO and vice-chairman in 2022 and oversaw the company’s consumer electronics and smartphone divisions, died after being treated for cardiac arrest at a hospital, the company said.
“Our deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time,” Samsung said.
Young-Hyun Jun, who heads up Samsung’s computer chip and components division, will serve as the company’s sole CEO following Han’s death, the company said in a regulatory filing.
May his Soul rest in peace
