[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Yoon Suhyun, Director of the Corporate Transaction Policy Bureau at the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC), has been appointed as a standing commissioner of the KFTC.

The KFTC announced on the 15th that Director Yoon will be appointed as a standing commissioner effective the 18th.

The KFTC is composed of a chairman (ministerial level), a vice chairman (vice-ministerial level), three standing commissioners (director-general level), and four non-standing commissioners, totaling nine members.

The plenary meetings involving all members and the small committee decisions involving three commissioners have the same effect as a first-instance court ruling. The term for standing commissioners is three years, with the possibility of one renewal.

The newly appointed standing commissioner Yoon graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in economics and passed the 36th Administrative Examination, beginning his public service career in 1993.

He has served as Planning and Finance Officer, Chief of Adjudication, Spokesperson, and Director of the Corporate Transaction Policy Bureau.

While serving as Director of the Corporate Transaction Policy Bureau, he proposed last year the "Measures to Improve Large and Small Business Transaction Practices and Expand Win-Win Cooperation."

Through this, he laid the foundation for spreading a culture of win-win cooperation where large corporations and small and medium enterprises voluntarily share achievements.

He ensured the strict sanctioning of unfair practices by Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries, improving unfair transaction practices in subcontracting transactions.

He is known for driving work forward with speed based on diverse work experience and a rich network.

Within the KFTC, he is evaluated as possessing both ability and character, being humble and gentle, and is selected by employees as a good executive.

A KFTC official expressed expectations that "with his accumulated experience and expertise in the field of fair trade, he will contribute to future KFTC decisions and institutional development."
