Korbit, the first virtual asset exchange in Korea, announced on the 2nd that it has appointed researchers Kim Minseung and Choi Yoonyoung as co-heads of its Research Center.

Center Director Kim Minseung joined Korbit in 2021 and was a key figure in establishing the Korbit Research Center alongside former director Jung Seokmoon. Prior to joining Korbit, Kim worked in strategic planning roles at various blockchain startups since 2018. He also has about five years of experience as a software engineer, which is evaluated to give him a comprehensive understanding of both the blockchain and virtual asset markets as well as the technical aspects.

Center Director Choi Yoonyoung has been working at Korbit since 2022. Choi’s strength lies in sharp analysis and forecasting of the global economic situation. After majoring in economics at Smith College in the U.S., she earned a master's degree in financial engineering from Michigan State University and a doctorate in business administration from Seoul National University’s College of Business Administration. Before joining Korbit, Choi also worked at Samsung Global Research (formerly Samsung Economic Research Institute) and Hana Financial Management Research Institute.

Oh Sejin, CEO of Korbit, said, “With this reorganization of the Research Center, we expect the experience and expertise of the two center directors to create synergy and further strengthen the research capabilities of the Korbit Research Center.” He added, “The Korbit Research Center will strive to contribute to the healthy growth of the virtual asset market as a leading think tank in Korea’s virtual asset industry.”
