[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] On the morning of the 2nd, Jiseong-gyu, CEO of KEB Hana Bank, welcomed employees arriving for their first workday of the new year wearing a Mickey Mouse headband.

According to Hana Bank, at the bank's headquarters located in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul, CEO Jiseong-gyu and all executives greeted employees arriving at the lobby during work hours with bright smiles and high-fives. New employees cheered on their seniors on their first workday of the new year with enthusiastic voices.

Every year on the first business day, instead of a formal opening ceremony, Hana Bank holds a New Year's morning greeting event where the CEO, executives, and new employees welcome arriving staff.

In particular, on this day, CEO Jiseong-gyu showed a humble side by personally wearing the Mickey Mouse headband to greet employees. To celebrate the Year of the Rat (Gyeongja year), he gifted employees with a Mighty Mouse doll symbolizing the "strong rat" and rice cakes, conveying wishes for health and happiness. He also took time to share various stories from the "New Year's Wish Board" written by branch employees and exchanged well-wishes.

CEO Jiseong-gyu emphasized, "In the new year, let us unite and strive so that Hana Bank can stand tall as a leader in the digital and global era by receiving the energy of the smart and wise rat." He added, "To this end, we will continue innovation through communication and consideration to become a bank where everyone is happy."
