Hana Bank Begins the Year of the Ox with a 'Non-Face-to-Face New Year's Morning Greeting'

Jisung Kyu Bank President Appears as Hologram... Wishes Employees Health and Happiness in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese
"Let's Overcome the Turning Point in Finance and Stand Tall as Leaders Leading the Digital and Global Era" Pledge

[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] Hana Bank announced that it started the Year of the Ox (辛丑年) with a non-face-to-face New Year's morning greeting at its Euljiro headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the first business day of the new year, January 4.

Every year on the first business day of the new year, instead of a formal opening ceremony, the bank president personally greeted employees with high-fives and shouted the New Year's slogan as a morning greeting. However, this year, due to the impact of COVID-19, President Ji Sung-kyu appeared as a hologram and exchanged New Year's wishes and greetings with employees in a non-face-to-face manner.

President Ji Sung-kyu shouted in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese, "Make your year 2021 with passionate enthusiasm! Let's move forward like a strong ox! Simple! Speed! Smart! Hana Bank fighting!" and emphasized, "Let's break through the turning point of finance and stand tall as leaders who lead the digital and global era."

Additionally, during the New Year's greeting, employees, including those at overseas branches, recorded positive messages containing their New Year's wishes in various languages they are confident in, such as English, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Spanish, wishing each other health and good fortune.

Meanwhile, Hana Bank is the first in the financial sector to boldly implement English nicknames and actively encourages the use of English throughout the bank, spreading a horizontal corporate culture.
