DGB Financial Group announced on the 14th that its Chairman Candidate Recommendation Committee (Chairman Committee) held a meeting and selected three final candidates for the next chairman.

The Chairman Committee conducted a 'shortlist selection program' for about four weeks. It explained that around 10 committee members and external experts participated to enhance the objectivity and fairness of candidate verification.

Based on detailed program results such as committee member interviews, in-depth interviews with financial experts, management competency evaluations, Behavioral Event Interview (B.E.I) assessments, and in-depth psychological tests by external specialized institutions, the Chairman Committee held in-depth discussions and selected Kwon Kwang-seok, Kim Ok-chan, and Hwang Byung-woo as the final candidates.

The final candidates will participate in a 'final candidate selection program' over the next two weeks to undergo comprehensive management capability verification. This program consists of one-on-one mentoring with CEO-level external experts and presentations of business plans and visions. Four top experts in finance, management, and leadership will serve as mentors in the mentoring program. A comprehensive evaluation of the candidates will be conducted through one-on-one mentoring. The business plan and vision presentations will be evaluated by the Chairman Committee based on the candidates' proposed group vision, mid- to long-term strategies, and implementation tasks.

The Chairman Committee stated, "We will maintain the independence, fairness, and objectivity of the committee throughout the remaining management succession process and recommend the final candidate with the highest capabilities and expertise."
