[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hye-young] It has been confirmed that Choi Min-jung, team leader at SK Hynix and the second daughter of SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won, met with investors and startup representatives in Las Vegas, USA, where the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition 'CES 2022' was held.

According to industry sources on the 9th, Team Leader Choi attended the 'SK Hynix-GFT Ventures Innovation Night' held at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas on the 7th (local time) and gave an impromptu speech in front of about 60 people.

At the event, Team Leader Choi stated, "SK Hynix is known as a semiconductor company, but it will become a company that goes beyond that," and reportedly revealed plans to frequently visit Silicon Valley in the future.

It was reported that Team Leader Choi engaged in conversations with various participants during the approximately two-and-a-half-hour event and stayed until the end to see off the attendees.

Born in 1991, Team Leader Choi majored in Business Administration at Peking University and became publicly known after voluntarily enlisting in the Navy. Since joining SK Hynix in 2019, she has been gaining management experience by participating in major mergers and acquisitions (M&A) projects.

SK Hynix has operated a CVC (corporate venture capital) in the Silicon Valley area for several years and is known to be gradually increasing the size of its investment organization in the San Jose area. This is interpreted as part of the group's efforts to expand its investment division and strengthen its transformation into an 'investment company.'

GFT Ventures is a venture capital firm established last year by CEO Hubst and former Translink co-CEO Eum Jae-hoon. CEO Eum is a well-known venture capitalist in both Korea and the United States, and CEO Hubst is a figure who developed the GPU Ventures program at NVIDIA and led trillion-won scale investments.
