When asked about Samsung's poor third quarter performance...Lee Jaeyong's "silent answer."

Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong did not answer any related questions as Samsung Electronics posted a lower-than-expected performance in the third quarter and its stock price sank to around 50,000 won.

When Chairman Lee arrived at the Seoul Business Aviation Center in Gangseo-gu, Seoul last night, he did not answer any questions from reporters about the Samsung semiconductor crisis and how to overcome it.

Chung Hyun-ho, vice chairman of the Business Support TF, who also entered the country, also declined to comment when asked about personnel appointments in the second half of the year after poor third-quarter results.

However, Roh Tae-moon, head of Samsung Electronics' mobile experience division, left room for questions such as future personnel, performance improvement strategies, and Exynos.
