The Seoul Chamber of Commerce and Industry will hold its regular general meeting at 2 p.m. on the 29th at the KCCI International Conference Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul. Unless there is an unexpected event, Chairman Choi is expected to be re-elected as the 25th president of the Seoul Chamber at this meeting. Becoming the president of the Seoul Chamber practically guarantees his reappointment as chairman of the KCCI. It has been customary for the president of the Seoul Chamber to also serve as the chairman of the KCCI. Chairman Choi’s reappointment will be finalized at the KCCI’s extraordinary general meeting scheduled for the 21st of next month. The term for the KCCI chairman is three years, with the possibility of one renewal.

Chairman Choi first assumed the position of KCCI chairman in March 2021, becoming the first head of a top four conglomerate to do so. Over the past three years, he has been recognized for representing the voice of the business community and actively communicating with the government, fulfilling the role of a 'big brother.' In May 2022, he was appointed chairman of the private committee for the 2030 Busan World Expo bid, actively promoting the bid until the host city was announced in November last year.
