[서울=뉴스핌] Reporter Kim Jin-ho = The election of the next chairman of Hana Financial Group is imminent. Normally, a row with a different sense of speed than the one that confirmed the short list (small number of candidates) after announcing the results of the long list (many candidates) selection. In fact, the analysis is dominant because it is the result of considering the reunion of Hana Financial Group Chairman Kim Jong-tae. The final candidate is expected to be selected as early as next week.

The Hana Financial Chairman Candidate Recommendation Committee held a meeting on the 15th and announced that a short list of Hana Finance Chairman Kim Jeong-tae, Hana Financial Chairman Ham Young-ju, Park Sung-ho, vice president of Hana Bank, and former Citi Bank President Park Jin-hoe have been confirmed.
After selecting a search firm in January, the Hoe Chun Committee has decided on a long list of 14 candidates (9 insiders and 5 outsiders). Then, today, four finalists (Short List) were confirmed.
In order to meticulously verify the candidates, the committee evaluates individual candidates according to the detailed evaluation criteria previously determined by the committee such as vision, mid- to long-term management strategy, entrepreneurship, career, expertise, global mind, and network, and then a total of four final candidates. Explained that it was selected.
Hana Financial Group Chairman Yoon Seong-bok said, “We have decided on the short list fairly and transparently in accordance with the management succession plan and candidate recommendation procedure for the chairman of the CEO.” “We have included candidates for the organizational stability of the financial group.”
In the future, the Huichu Committee plans to determine the candidate for the next president and president through in-depth interviews for the final candidates.
The results of the meeting of the Hana Financial Group Conference are exceptional. This is in contrast to the fact that, after selecting about 20 internal and external candidates, the process was disclosed to the outside, and the short list was culled through several interviews. This time, the long list was confirmed privately after the search firm in January, and the short list was released immediately after the first episode of the day.
Accordingly, the next chairman of Hana Financial Group is expected to be confirmed during next week as early as possible. Looking back in 2018, when Chairman Kim succeeded in serving three consecutive days, the Hoechu Committee confirmed the long list after about 15 days starting from the first meeting on December 22, 2017, followed by an additional 11 days until the short list announcement, and 6 days for the final candidate. It took more.
Given the results of the condolences, an analysis is raised that the re-appointment of Chairman Kim Jong-tae is becoming a reality in the financial sector. It is observed that the key figures mentioned as the next chairman are exposed to legal risks and that Kim can lead Hana Financial for another year due to the uncertainty caused by Corona 19.
If Chairman Kim is reunited, according to Hana Financial’s internal regulations, he can perform his duties for one year until the regular shareholders’ meeting in March next year, when he turns 70.
An official from the financial sector said, “If you look at the fact that Jin-guk Lee, who was mentioned as a leading candidate, was excluded from the short list, it is inevitable that the reappointment of Chairman Kim is inevitably weighed.” Considering that, I think it will be difficult.”
On the other hand, the Hoechu Committee is made up of all outside directors except for Hana Finance Chairman Kim Jeong-tae. Including Chairman Sung-bok Yoon, Park Won-gu, a research professor at Korea University, Cha Eun-young, a professor at Ewha Womans University, Baek Tae-seung, president of the Korean Society for Internet Law, and Heo Yoon, a professor at Sogang University.
