Samsung Lee Jae-yong was discharged from the hospital today and returned to the detention center. Last month, he was rushed to the hospital for appendicitis for surgery.

The hospital previously stated that Li Zairong needs to undergo a three-week treatment, and accordingly the date of his return to the detention center is set on the 9th of this month.

However, due to his unrecovered condition, the hospital once again recommended that he receive ten days of hospitalization and observe the treatment until this week.

As a result, Li Zairong was able to postpone his return to the detention center. It is reported that Li Zayong lost 7 kg due to surgery and hospitalization. The hospital recommended that he continue to be hospitalized for observation, but Li Zayong said he did not want to cause any more trouble and wanted to return to the detention center.

On January 18th, Li Zairong was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison for the case of cronies intervening in politics, and was arrested in court. On the 19th of last month, he was rushed to Samsung Seoul Hospital for surgery due to appendicitis.
