Samsung has appointed Roh Tae-moon as interim head of its consumer and smartphone unit following the passing of Han Jong-hee. With CEO Jun Young-hyun now solely leading the company, Samsung faces key challenges in its chip business and rising competition.

The change leaves newly appointed CEO Jun Young-hyun in full control as the tech giant navigates challenges in its semiconductor sector and increasing market competition.

A Samsung representative stated that no decision has been made regarding whether the company will retain its previous dual-CEO structure.

Roh, who has led Samsung’s mobile business since 2020, will now oversee the DX division, which includes the company’s TV, home appliance, and smartphone businesses. Samsung emphasized that the leadership transition aims to maintain stability within the DX unit.

Additionally, Samsung has appointed Choi Won-joon, former head of mobile R&D, to a new CEO position, while Kim Cheol-ji, formerly leading DX marketing, will now oversee the digital appliance business, including refrigerators and washing machines.
