In his inauguration speech, President Jang expressed, “I am grateful for the dedication and hard work of the 8th president, Choi Jong-hyo, and the executives who have strived for the success and prosperity of Hanwoo people. I will do my best to overcome the management crisis faced by farms due to falling Hanwoo prices and soaring production costs, and to help the Hanwoo industry take a new leap forward.”


Kim Hak-hong, Vice Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, encouraged, “I support this new start and urge everyone to open the way to the growth and bright future of the Gyeongbuk Hanwoo industry together.”
