He advised that to become the best talent, one should not set limits. CEO Kim said, "Many people are paying attention to and learning from Ebest Investment & Securities' growth," calling it "the reason we are breathless but cannot stop." He also added, "This year, I hope not only yourself but also your colleagues discuss together Ebest Investment & Securities' position and the goals to move forward."

He also ordered that strengthening risk management and compliance mindset should become routine. As the company grows, difficulties never experienced before may arise. CEO Kim emphasized, "There are various risks not only in business risk management but also in internal processes, customary experiences, and cultural foundations," and said, "To overcome these, I hope you continuously prepare manuals and respond thoroughly through various case analyses and human resource management."

CEO Kim said, "We have grown, and now it is time to show our capabilities, not just potential," adding, "Looking back on the brilliant achievements of the past three years, I have gained the confidence to set even bigger goals."
