Finally, he promised to newly design the happiness management system to create tangible happiness for members.

President Jang emphasized, "I ask for the active participation and expression of opinions (Speak Out) from all members, the subjects of pursuing happiness," and added, "Let us commit ourselves to happiness management so that 'SK where all members are happy' becomes a reality this year as well."
