Han, who served as co-chief executive and oversaw the company\u2019s consumer electronics and mobile devices divisions, died in the hospital after suffering from cardiac arrest. <\/p>\n

Joining Samsung in 1988, Han dedicated much of his career to TV-related divisions, helping the company become the global leader in television manufacturing. In 2022, he was appointed co-vice chairman and CEO.<\/p>\n

Han was expected to attend a significant Samsung event unveiling new home appliances on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

All divisions operate under the overarching leadership of third-generation corporate heir and chairman, Lee Jae-yong.<\/p>\n
