[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] On the 8th, SK Group held an online commemorative ceremony attended by the family of the group’s head and key executives to mark the 69th anniversary of the group’s founding.

On this day, Chairman Chey Tae-won delivered a memorial speech at the 'Memorial Day' event held on the anniversary, reportedly urging everyone to navigate the uncertain management environment well by inheriting the spirit and intelligence of the founding chairman and the previous chairman, who established Seonkyung amid the ruins of war and laid the foundation of the group during the oil crisis and recession.

Since 2018, SK management has held Memorial Day events at the SK Memorial Hall in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on April 8, the group’s founding anniversary, to commemorate founding chairman Chey Jong-gun and former chairman Chey Jong-hyun. Since 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, the events have been held online.

The event was attended by Chairman Chey, his younger brother and Senior Vice Chairman Chey Jae-won, and about 20 people including CEOs of major affiliates.
