New President Yujahoon of Yebo to Hold Inauguration Ceremony on the 21st

First Workday After 11 Days of Appointment Amid Staff's Work Attendance Protest

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Yoo Jae-hoon, the newly appointed president of the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC), who had been unable to report to work for over ten days due to employee opposition, officially took office after his first day at work.

KDIC announced on the afternoon of the 21st that it held an inauguration ceremony for the new president Yoo.

In his inaugural speech, President Yoo emphasized three key tasks: ▲ the introduction of a ‘Financial Stability Account’ for proactive crisis response ▲ improvement of the fund system to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of the deposit insurance system ▲ protection of financial consumers from risks arising from financial complexity and digitalization.

He urged, "We need to adopt smart work methods and apply integrated system operations and resource management that transcend departmental boundaries," emphasizing the necessity to pursue an organizational culture where "the interests of individuals and the organization are one."

Earlier, President Yoo was officially appointed on the 10th following the nomination recommendation by Financial Services Commission Chairman Kim Joo-hyun and approval by President Yoon Suk-yeol. However, the KDIC labor union had opposed his appointment due to his past actions, including ‘retaliatory personnel moves’ during his tenure as president of the Korea Securities Depository, and had been blocking his attendance at work until this day when he was finally able to report for duty.
