[Asia Economy Reporter Sim Nayoung] The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation has begun the recruitment process for the successor to President Kim Taehyun, publicly seeking candidates for the president position until the 8th of next month. According to financial circles on the 29th, President Kim has applied for the vacant position of Chairman of the National Pension Service and has completed the interview process. It is reported that President Kim, along with Professor Kim Yongha of Soonchunhyang University's Department of IT Financial Management, has been selected as a final candidate for the chairman position of the service.

President Kim was appointed as the head of KDIC in October last year and will not complete his one-year term. Accordingly, there have been some unusual assessments within and outside the financial sector regarding President Kim's application for the chairman position of the National Pension Service. President Kim is a traditional financial bureaucrat who has held key positions at the Financial Services Commission, including Director of the Capital Market Bureau, Director of the Financial Services Bureau, Director of the Financial Policy Bureau, Standing Commissioner, and Secretary-General.
