As Lee paid at the counter where the Naver Pay machine was installed, Huang put his arm around Lee’s shoulder.For the second stop of the evening, the executives went to a nearby BBQ outlet, a popular Korean chicken chain. For that round, Chey paid the bill.The exchange recalled another widely talked-about dinner from Huang’s visit to Korea last year.

The combined value of SK Group’s listed affiliates, including SK hynix, is estimated at around 1,139 trillion won, while LG Group’s major listed companies, including LG Electronics and LG Energy Solution, are worth about 223 trillion won. Naver’s market capitalization is approximately 40 trillion won.
