Samsung is a publicly traded company. Owning enough shares allows you to have enough voting power to significantly alter the result of the elections with a single vote.
In theory, yes, though the number of shares required to go against the Chaebol is just not feasible. There's a reason South Korea specifically has a word for a specific group of Billionaire Capitalists, they are essentially untouchable.
