Jung Seung-il, CEO of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), expressed his intention to resign in front of employees on the 12th.


On the morning of the same day, at the headquarters in Naju, Jeollanam-do, during the closing remarks of the 'Emergency Management and Management Innovation Commitment Rally,' CEO Jung said, "Today will be the last occasion where I convey my requests to you."


CEO Jung had been under pressure to resign from the government and ruling party due to KEPCO's massive deficit amounting to tens of trillions of won. His resignation is interpreted as taking responsibility for the worsening management of KEPCO.



On the same day, KEPCO announced a high-intensity financial restructuring plan worth 25 trillion won, including the sale of the Nam Seoul Headquarters located in Yeouido, a representative asset in the metropolitan area, and the return of wage increases by employees.
