FT "Lee Jae-yong is put to the test in the crisis of Samsung Electronics."

Ten years after Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong came to the forefront of management, the Financial Times diagnosed that he is now conducting the harshest test regarding business capabilities.

The Financial Times pointed out that Samsung Electronics is suffering from sluggish artificial intelligence and AI semiconductors.

Although Samsung Electronics is the world's largest memory chip manufacturer, it is lagging behind in competition for high-bandwidth memory, an AI semiconductor, according to the media.

In particular, employee and investor complaints have also been raised, with stock prices falling more than 30% this year.

On top of that, Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election and the possibility of trade turmoil add uncertainty to South Korea's economic outlook, which relies heavily on semiconductor exports and Samsung Electronics, the outlet analyzed.
