GOVERNANCE INNOVATION

Keystone Private Equity (PE), the majority shareholder, has made history as the first Korean media company to donate approximately 5% of its total shares to the Employee Stock Ownership Association, a representative employee organization, in July 2023.

The Asia Business Daily Shareholder Status -
Following the strategic management decision of the majority shareholder, we diversified our sales and profit models by integrating the operating corporations of financial company A Capital and the global hotel chain 'Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul' as affiliates.
