It's not one company, but the top 5 companies make up 40% of South Korea's economy, with the top 30 76.9% of their GDP. It's scary to imagine the power they wield over the peoples lives.
Power over their lives? Nonsense, the people of S~~amsung~~outh Korea are completely free to use iPhones instead of Samsung phones if they want! They can also leave their Samsung apartments to work at the Samsung office, built by the Samsung construction company using Samsung heavy machinery, any time they want! If they were to get injured on the way, they'll get treated at Samsung Medical Center and not to worry, of course their Samsung insurance will cover it.
