Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) Executive Chairman Jay Y. Lee cast his ballot in Seoul on Thursday, the first day of early voting for the June 3 local elections.
Lee visited the early voting station set up at the Hannam-dong Community Center in Seoul's Yongsan District on Thursday morning, casting his vote dressed in a gray suit. He was also seen shaking hands with an on-site official while receiving his ballot. The release of footage showing Lee voting is unusual.
