[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of Wemade, used his entire salary to purchase the company's blockchain platform cryptocurrency, 'Wemix.'

According to Wemade on the 25th, CEO Jang used his entire May salary to buy 11,688 Wemix tokens. While utilizing his salary to purchase Wemix, CEO Jang has also declared that he plans to invest this year's stock dividends based on the fiscal year into Wemix.

According to the cryptocurrency wallet of CEO Jang (Korbit exchange wallet, as of 12:23 PM) disclosed by Wemade on the same day, he holds a total of 37,833 Wemix tokens. This amounts to approximately 174,035,259 KRW in Korean won. Last year, CEO Jang purchased Wemix tokens using the full amount of dividends from his Wemade stock holdings.

Wemade is mobilizing all executives and employees to revitalize the Wemix ecosystem. Park Kwan-ho, founder and chairman of Wemade, announced on the 10th that he plans to purchase Wemix worth 30 billion KRW over the next six months. The Wemix he buys will be locked up for one year after purchase, making it impossible to sell during that period.
