Rhee, 54, joined Samsung Electronics in 2005 as a manager of public relations after serving as a former reporter for public broadcasting network MBC. He was tapped to lead the Samsung Group’s communications team later in 2009.
Since he took charge of the group’s PR arm, he has worked to widen the communications channels for the country’s largest conglomerate, focusing on overseas media outlets. The group also uses diverse SNS communication tools such as Twitter and Facebook to make their activities public.
The award ceremony is scheduled to be held at the Plaza Hotel in downtown Seoul on Nov. 22.
