Samsung Group’s de-facto leader Jay Y. Lee said he’s willing to dismantle the central office that coordinates the South Korean conglomerate’s various businesses.

“If the public and lawmakers have negative perceptions toward it, I will eliminate it," Lee said during a parliamentary hearing on Tuesday of the nation’s tycoons. Still, the billionaire said he’d be very careful about it because it’s an office created by the group’s founder and later maintained by his father.
