S. Korea to showcase Hyunmoo-5 ballistic missile on Armed Forces Day ceremony for 1st time
Shareholders of Tokyo-based Lotte Holdings Co., which controls South Korea's fifth-largest conglomerate Lotte Group, voted on Sunday in support of Shin Dong-bin, the Lotte founder's second son and incumbent group chairman, helping strengthen his management grip against his elder brother Shin Dong-joo.
During the meeting in Tokyo, shareholders rejected the request made by Shin Dong-joo, the oldest of 94-year-old Lotte founder Shin Kyuk-ho's two sons, to dismiss his younger brother from the company's board of directors.
During the meeting in Tokyo, shareholders rejected the request made by Shin Dong-joo, the oldest of 94-year-old Lotte founder Shin Kyuk-ho's two sons, to dismiss his younger brother from the company's board of directors.
Dong-joo has been locking horns with Dong-bin after being stripped of his executive titles at three of Lotte's Japanese affiliates in early 2015.
Although the elder son claims the Lotte Group founder handpicked him as his successor, he has faced an uphill battle for control of the retail giant as he holds only about 30 percent of Lotte Holdings' shares.
Dong-bin also claims that his father is unable to make reasonable judgments due to mental health problems. (Yonhap)
