Jeong Manki, KAMA Chairman, Completes 3 Years and 9 Months Term and Retires... Successor to Be Appointed on the 6th of Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Jeong Manki, chairman of the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association (KAMA), has retired after serving a term of 3 years and 9 months.

At the retirement ceremony, Chairman Jeong said, "I took office during a personally very restrained time due to the special prosecutor investigation into the national power abuse scandal, but I felt rewarded when we achieved some accomplishments such as establishing the Automobile Industry Federation, the entry of completed car manufacturers into the used car market, industry responses to COVID-19, and the successful hosting of the hydrogen exhibition H2MEET."

He also urged employees to have a sense of ownership. He said, "Generally, unlike servants, owners do their best for customer service, innovation, and profit generation based on costs and performance, whereas servants can be satisfied with minimal customer service while prioritizing their own safety. The mindset with which one lives will be a key factor determining the quality of life."

He added, "Even small differences in mindset bring differences in overall social productivity and innovation, and personally have a great impact on forming social reputation. Therefore, in the formation and handling of work, one must act with a sense of ownership or professionalism. I hope employees will fill their lives with rewarding days by solving difficult problems through a sense of ownership and contributing to the automobile industry."

Meanwhile, the new chairman of KAMA is scheduled to be appointed at the board meeting on October 6.
