LVMH chief to meet biz moguls in Seoul
[THE INVESTOR] LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault will visit Seoul on June 7 and have a series of meetings with Korean retail heads, according to industry sources.

The luxury house is holding a travel-themed exhibition in Seoul that will showcase more than 1,000 pieces from its archives and the French billionaire has invited CEOs of major retailers for the opening on June 8.
This will be followed by a series of meetings with them -- including Hotel Shilla's Lee Boo-jin, Shinsegae Group’s Chung Yoo-kyung, Lotte Group’s Shin Dong-bin and Hyundai Department Store Group's Chung Ji-sun.
The business mogul’s visit is attracting more attention as downtown duty-free stores that recently bagged a license are all vying to host Louis Vuitton brands.
