Jung Woo-jin, CEO of NHN

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Jung Woo-jin, CEO of NHN, announced on the 3rd that he will accelerate growth steps for a bigger leap this year, including the spin-off of the cloud division.

In his New Year's address, CEO Jung emphasized the spirit of direct breakthrough. NHN, which has solidified its foundation by expanding core businesses such as technology, commerce, and content, plans to condense energy to leap forward as a leading IT company in the new year. CEO Jung highlighted four key goals.

First, NHN will increase the pace of growth through the launch of independent corporations. The company will actively proceed with the cloud spin-off, reorganize its domestic gaming business, and prepare for the listing of Japan's NHN PlayArt.

CEO Jung also pledged to equip NHN with flexible acceptance and swift responses to become a market-leading company amid rapidly changing IT trends such as the metaverse (virtual extended world), non-fungible tokens (NFT), and blockchain.

Next, NHN aims to promote mutual growth with various partners, including startups and small and medium-sized enterprises. It will provide digital expansion experiences through solutions such as collaboration tools, cloud, game platforms, data, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Finally, the plan is to create a "company where people want to work and can grow." Leading with the abolition of the comprehensive wage system, CEO Jung proposed, "Let's establish a culture where efforts are rewarded and create a growth framework that the company, organization, and individuals can all feel together."

Meanwhile, NHN has carried out executive appointments for a total of 19 executives, including the appointment of Baek Do-min as the head of the Cloud Business Division. The company plans to expand its business by appointing many new executives in key sectors such as AI, data, cloud, gaming, and Payco.
