As Samsung Electronics' stock price broke through 180,000 won for the first time ever, a meme of Chairman Lee Jae-yong of Samsung Electronics is spreading quickly online.
On the 13th, Samsung Electronics' stock rose to as high as 184,400 won right after the market opened, ushering in the era of "180,000 Electronics." The share price gained more than 2% in early trading, then pared gains to close at 181,200 won, up 1.4% from the previous day.
In step with the stock surge, parody AI images featuring Chairman Lee Jae-yong are trending across online communities and social media. The images show Lee arriving in a sports car, opening the door and extending his hand while shouting, "No time to explain, get in quickly." They humorously convey the message not to miss an investment opportunity.
