[Cartoon] Too little, too late

Jeong Yong-jik of the Shinsege group and Lee Jae-yong of Samsung are trying to land in a target area that says "Legitimize your position of power in your conglomerate while avoiding controversy about the less-than-entirely-legal ways you have gotten there."

Hoping to land in the intended area, Jeong is going to pay 1 trillion won in inheritance taxes, and Lee is going to pay even more than that. Unfortunately, they released their parachutes too late and, at only 1 trillion won, those parachutes are not big enough to stop their fall.
