SEOUL (Reuters) - Business groups representing South Korea's largest companies said on Wednesday they will work with new President Moon Jae-in in creating jobs and boosting investment, and fix their "past wrongdoings."

Moon started his five-year term on Wednesday, replacing his predecessor Park Geun-hye who was impeached over a corruption scandal that exposed cosy ties between the government and businesses, including South Korea's largest conglomerate Samsung Group.
