Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Kun-hee has been hospitalized for pneumonia, a group official said Wednesday.
Lee, 71, was admitted to the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul a week ago, and is expected to be released from the hospital this weekend, the official said.
The tycoon has a history of lung cancer, for which he underwent surgery in the United States about a decade ago.
There have been rumors that Lee's health has been declining, although the business group has strongly denied the claim.
Lee was originally scheduled to hold a dinner with the group's executives last Friday, but the meeting was postponed by a week for unspecified reasons.
The dinner meeting is likely to be pushed back again, the official said.
