Originally, the term of office for President Kim Jong-tae was limited to one year according to the internal norms of Hana Financial Group’s governance structure. According to the internal norms of corporate governance, 70-year-olds cannot serve as chief executive officer, because Chairman Kim Jong-tae is in the 69th century this year.
