[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Lee Boo-jin (50), President of Hotel Shilla, wearing a white cape coat, has attracted attention online for attending her son's elementary school graduation ceremony.

On the 13th, The Fact reported on the 14th the appearance of President Lee at a private elementary school in Seoul where her son's graduation ceremony was held. Due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19, the graduation ceremony was conducted in the classroom, and only parents were allowed to attend.

According to the report, President Lee did not enter the classroom but stayed outside. She chatted with nearby parents and took photos together to celebrate the graduation. Around noon, when the children came out of the classroom, President Lee took care of her son and his friends.

In particular, President Lee showed off her unique fashion sense that day with a white cape coat and black ankle boots.

However, it is understood that her ex-husband, Lim Woo-jae (51), former advisor of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, did not attend the graduation ceremony. Earlier in January, President Lee and former advisor Lim ended their 21-year marriage after a lawsuit.
