Usually, these headlines seem outrageous because they are taken out of context, but in this case there appears to be no additional context that can help make sense of this debacle. According to Korean media, chaebol subsidiaries (Samsung/SK/Lotte/etc) are demanding "crunch mode" from their executives. Nobody knows why they are doing this, and what they are trying to achieve with only executives present. News articles say the executives are holding meetings or studying current events. Profits are projected to tank heavily so I think they are showing up just for the sake of it. I thought Korea was way past this BS. Apparently not.
