[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coupang Eats Service, a subsidiary of Coupang, announced on the 18th that it has launched a dual CEO system and newly appointed Kim Myung-kyu as CEO.


Newly appointed CEO Kim previously served as the head of the logistics policy office at Coupang, where he was responsible for mid- to long-term strategic planning, regional investment and job creation, and policy development for service and safety management. Before joining Coupang in 2014, he gained expertise in various fields through roles at Samsung Card and Naver's external cooperation office.


Through this appointment, CEO Kim will be responsible for establishing safe and convenient operations that satisfy all delivery logistics stakeholders (customers, store owners, delivery partners, etc.) and addressing improvements for the development of the industry. Jang Ki-hwan, who had overseen Coupang Eats Service since its launch, will lead the strengthening of specialized services such as Chita Delivery and the growth of the business.


Coupang Eats has introduced highly customer-satisfactory services such as 'One-Home Delivery' and 'Chita Delivery,' and operates the gourmet guide survey 'Blue Ribbon' badge. Additionally, to ensure the safety of delivery partners, it has collaborated with the Korea Transportation Safety Authority and Seoul City to enhance safety education, and has provided helmets to over 8,000 delivery partners nationwide, striving to establish a culture of safe delivery.



New CEO Kim said, "Based on the experience I have accumulated at Coupang, I will do my best to realize the goal of Coupang Eats Service providing 'services that make customers say Wow.'"
