KT\'s labour union said on March 17 it filed a complaint with investigators against outside director Lee Seung-hoon over alleged misconduct, citing the need to restore board transparency and normalise corporate governance.

It also cited allegations of undue influence over personnel matters and pressure to invest in Germany-based satellite firm Rivada.
