[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The extended Hyundai family will gather in one place to mark the 14th anniversary of the passing of the late Byeon Jung-seok, wife of the late Chung Ju-yung, Honorary Chairman of Hyundai Group.


According to the business community on the 16th, the extended Hyundai family plans to hold a memorial rite for Mrs. Byeon at her former residence in Cheongun-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the evening before her 14th anniversary.


This is the first time the Hyundai family has gathered since holding the 20th anniversary memorial rite for Honorary Chairman Chung at the Cheongun-dong residence on March 20.


Until now, the Hyundai family held separate memorial rites twice a year?one in March for Honorary Chairman Chung and another in August for Mrs. Byeon?but last year, they combined the two rites in March and did not gather separately in August. However, it is reported that this year they have decided to hold the rites separately again.



However, considering the COVID-19 situation, the number of attendees will be reduced, and the rites will likely be held sequentially by dividing the time slots.
