Han, who served as co-chief executive and oversaw the company’s consumer electronics and mobile devices divisions, died in the hospital after suffering from cardiac arrest.
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.
Han was expected to attend a significant Samsung event unveiling new home appliances on Wednesday.
As one of the world’s largest technology companies, Samsung thrives in both components and finished consumer products, with separate CEOs leading major divisions like semiconductors.
All divisions operate under the overarching leadership of third-generation corporate heir and chairman, Lee Jae-yong.
