In his New Year's address on the 2nd, CEO Jung said, "The prolonged market uncertainty over the past few years has led us to seek reasons for our industry's success and setbacks in the market," adding, "Market volatility has revealed what the company's fundamental competitiveness truly is."

Despite the difficulties last year, CEO Jung anticipated that the planned goals would be achieved. He stated, "Although the capital market faced various challenges last year, including asset price declines, side effects from rapid interest rate hikes, contract for difference (CFD) issues, and stock manipulation incidents, we expect to achieve many of the goals we set, including financial performance."

As a player participating in the capital market, CEO Jung highlighted the importance of rapid recovery and improvement above all else. He said, "It is difficult to respond perfectly at every moment as a player in the capital market; sometimes we may waver briefly or make wrong judgments. However, even in such moments, if we maintain our center, recover quickly, correct, and improve, we can establish ourselves as the most trusted platform in the capital market."

CEO Jung particularly urged continuous communication to gain customers' trust. He said, "Ultimately, the foundation and beginning of everything must be the customer, and the more difficult the market, the closer we must get to the customer," adding, "In challenging environments, we must align with customers at the closest points, constantly seek what more we can do, and take action. By doing so, become the most trusted person to the customer." He further added, "The easiest and most certain way to gain customers' trust is through continuous communication."

CEO Jung stressed the importance of principles. He said, "One layer built by adhering to principles holds greater value than several layers built by breaking them," adding, "Keeping principles is protecting the customer, oneself, and the company. When unsure of what is right, principles serve as the most reliable and best judgment standard, and only the fruits gained by adhering to principles are true achievements."

Finally, CEO Jung emphasized, "Even if something seems perfect now, over time it will surely become outdated and rusty, and if we think the present is the best, there is no future," adding, "If we always stay alert, unite our spirits, identify shortcomings, and fill them, we can create a company that always stays ahead of others."
