Chairperson Kim stated, "The committee's goal is for Kakao affiliates to establish compliance management systems and ensure these systems operate effectively," adding, "We will promptly advance activities so that discussions on the tasks selected by the committee can begin by the end of the year."

Center Head Kim said, "Kakao started as a startup, prioritizing speed and rapid growth, but it seems we were lacking in establishing a systematic framework during that process, which is regrettable," and added, "We decided to form this committee to address these shortcomings, and I would like to thank the committee members who graciously accepted the role." He continued, "We respect the committee's independent operation," and said, "We will actively support it at the company-wide level, so we ask for your considerable help to enable Kakao to play a socially meaningful role."

The Compliance Committee will serve as a strong executive body capable of renewing the compliance monitoring and internal control systems of affiliated companies. To establish a legal basis, agreements will be signed with affiliates, and after resolutions by each company's board of directors, official committee activities are expected to commence promptly.
