On May 29, the first day of early voting, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae‑yong was photographed casting his ballot. Wearing a gray suit that morning, Lee visited the early voting station set up at the Hannam‑dong community center in Seoul’s Yongsan District. After receiving his ballot, he shook hands with officials on site, completed his vote, offered a slight nod, and then left. Images of the chairman voting being released to the press are unusual.
