The former boss of Samsung Electronics, who was convicted of tax evasion and later given a presidential pardon, has returned to head the company.
Lee Kun-hee headed Samsung for two decades before stepping down in April 2008, three months before being handed a three-year suspended sentence.
Analysts said Mr Lee's return is good news for the electronics giant, the BBC reports.
Mr Lee, whose father founded Samsung, is seen as one of the South Korea's most prominent businessman and is one of the country's richest men.
