[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] As the management dispute within Hanjin Group intensifies, employees are actively engaging in a 'Protect Hanjin Movement' on social networking services (SNS), drawing attention.

According to industry sources on the 13th, an open chat room titled 'Gathering of People Supporting Hanjin' was created on KakaoTalk on the 3rd. Approximately 110 employees and general citizens have joined the chat room so far to share their opinions.

Within the chat room, there is active exchange of opinions encouraging participation in the 'Buy 10 Shares of Hanjin KAL Movement,' and screenshots showing actual purchases of Hanjin KAL stocks are being shared. The 'Buy 10 Shares of Hanjin KAL Movement' began when an employee of Korean Air proposed it on the company bulletin board. This movement was triggered recently as the private equity fund KCGI, former Korean Air Vice President Cho Hyun-ah, and the three-party alliance including Bando Construction significantly increased their stakes in Hanjin KAL.

Meanwhile, labor unions under Hanjin Group have recently expressed support for Chairman Cho Won-tae and the current management, actively engaging in the management dispute. On the 5th, they began encouraging proxy voting for Hanjin KAL and appealed to shareholders, stating, "The shareholder alliance intends to jointly exercise voting rights with former Vice President Cho, who has been socially criticized for attempting to dominate Hanjin Group," and "Their shareholder proposals are not for the benefit of the company."
