Why cynical, 'memeified' makeovers of kids' characters are so appealing
The chairman of South Korean food and entertainment conglomerate CJ Group, who had been arrested for massive slush funds, successfully underwent a five-hour kidney transplant surgery in Seoul Wednesday, the group said.
Lee Jay-hyun has been taken to a recovery room of the Seoul National University Hospital in downtown Seoul after he had an operation to receive a kidney from his wife, CJ said.
Lee had been behind bars since early last month under a court-issued arrest warrant pending trial on charges of creating a massive slush fund.
Last week, a local court decided to suspend implementing Lee’s custody for three months, accepting a request by his lawyer for hospital treatment.
