At the regular general meeting on the 18th, the Korea Gallery Association decided on Hwang, who ran unopposed, as the 20th president. The term is two years.

Newly appointed President Hwang graduated from Korea University with a degree in geology and has operated Geumsan Gallery since 1992. He has served as the international director of the Korea Gallery Association and the secretary general of the Korea International Art Fair (KIAF).

He stated, "We will promptly establish an online integrated platform to support galleries during the difficult times caused by COVID-19."
