> Mr. Kim said Samsung fired him in 1995 for doing what many others, before and since, have tried to do: organize an independent labor union.
No he was not. He was fired because he tried to sexually assult a women co-worker.
> The woman said in a notarized statement that Mr. Kim had not assaulted her, and he sued Samsung, demanding his job back.
Although he 'claims' that he has a notarized paper that confirms he did not do it he never submitted it to the court and failed to show it to the public.
> In 1992, his wife was sexually assaulted, and an unsubstantiated newspaper report speculated that the attacker had a connection to Samsung.
The only proof of the incident was the newspaper article, which was an allegation by his wife of attempted sexual assult. No other proof exists.
- rajlego 6y agoDo you have proof of your claims?
- maallooc 6y agoI have but they are all Korean.
- robjan 6y agoCan still post them. We have Google translate.

The paper that says he did not sexually assult the woman is clearly not notarized, as you can see on the photo provided by him. http://www.labortoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=146870 http://www.labortoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=1468... He alleges that his attorney did not submit the notarized paper. He says that he lost his appeal because of it. His attorney was Moon Jae-In, who happens to be the current sitting president of South Korea which started his term in 2017. He was fired from Samsung in 1995, but his radical protest started in 2018. Coincidence? About the sexual assult, you can see that it's all her allegations. It's a shame it's copyrighted so I can't share the article but you can buy a page of The Busan Paper, 1992/May/25 23p.
- rajlego 6y agoBetter to post them than have unsubstantiated claims.
- hatsunearu 6y agoAnd I can read them too lol
- tareqak 6y agoPlease send them to the New York Times.
- barry-cotter 6y agoI have no dog in this fight but it hardly seems beyond the bounds of possibility that Samsung would just lie and slander a former employee who was an annoyance. What’s the worst that could happen? He somehow finds rock solid proof they did so and gets $10m in damages? The chances of anyone supporting him even if everything he said was true is zero. Pissing off one of Korea’s largest companies isn’t something people with sense do whether they work there or not.
- hatsunearu 6y agoCan you post the sources? As it stands you're saying one woman's sexual assault allegations are false and those of another are valid, even though both cases (as presented) are not much different from each other.
