Joon-hak Kwon, executive director of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (pictured), takes the lead of the Nonghyup Bank for two years. Nonghyup Finance Chairman Kim Kwang-soo resigned during his term of office last month, and then moved to the position as Chairman of the Banking Federation.
On the 31st, the Nonghyup Finance and Nonghyup Bank held the Committee for Recommendation of Candidate Lim (Chuwi Lim), respectively, and proceeded to appoint Kwon as the head of the Nonghyup Bank.

Nonghyup Finance said’speed battle’ to select the next president. It is evaluated as a measure to prevent the prolonged leadership gap as Chairman Son Byeong-hwan decided to become chairman of Nonghyup Finance. On the 29th, the final candidates were narrowed down, and the next venue was selected as Ilsacheon-ri from Lim Chun-wi. This is because Chairman Son’s term of office begins next year, and the CEO, vice president of holding companies, and previously appointed vice president of Nonghyup Bank will also enter their terms from the new year.

He took over the planning and coordination headquarters, which is one of the core positions of the central meeting, and has early selected Kwon Nae Jeong-ja as the most influential candidate for the bank president. Some analysts say that Chairman Lee’s breath will become stronger after Kwon’s appointment. This is because Nonghyup Finance is also inaugurated by Chairman Son, who is from within.
