Choi Won-gi, Candidate for Director of Gyeongnam Robot Land Foundation, Expected to Utilize 33 Years of Experience

Official Appointment After Personnel Verification by Provincial Council on the 19th

Choi Won-ki, who has experience working at Lotte World in Seoul, is expected to be appointed as the new director of the Gyeongnam Robot Land Foundation.

According to Gyeongnam Province on the 6th, Choi worked at Lotte World in Seoul for 33 years since 1988 and served as the head of the observatory division, overseeing the planning and overall facility management of the Lotte World Tower observatory, Seoul Sky, from its planning stage to its opening.

Gyeongnam Province and the Robot Land Foundation formed a director recommendation committee earlier this year and publicly recruited candidates on March 24th to hire the new director of the foundation.

They announced that Choi was selected as the final candidate through document screening and interviews among three applicants.

Choi will be officially appointed as the new director after passing the personnel verification by the Provincial Council, which is scheduled to be held at the Economic and Environmental Committee of the Provincial Council as early as the 19th.

An official from the province stated, “Being selected as a candidate does not guarantee appointment; only after passing the personnel verification to hear the opinions of the residents and the Provincial Council can the candidate be officially hired as the new director. We plan to officially request the Provincial Council for verification as soon as the foundation submits the personnel verification request.”

He added, “The candidate, who has worked for a long time at Lotte World, a leading domestic amusement facility, is a theme park operation expert. We expect that after the final appointment, he will become a key player in resolving the immediate issues facing the Robot Land Foundation.”
