According to Yonhap Infomax, Woori Bank CEO Jeong Jin-wan received approval on November 13 to extend his tenure for one additional year under a newly introduced 2+1-year appointment framework. The Woori Financial Group's board recommendation committee decided to extend his term through December 31, 2027, following a comprehensive review of his two-year track record and future management plans.
The decision reflects strong financial performance, including record-breaking quarterly net profits exceeding 1 trillion Korean won earlier this year, alongside achievements in capital ratio improvement, platform business expansion including Samsung Wallet, and advancement in AI data center capabilities. The bank will submit the appointment for final approval at the Woori Bank shareholders meeting scheduled for late November.
