Hyun Jung-eun, Chairwoman of Hyundai Group, was appointed Honorary Governor of Chungcheongbuk-do.

On the 31st, Hyundai Group announced that Chairwoman Hyun received the honorary governor appointment plaque from Kim Young-hwan, Governor of Chungbuk Province, at the Hyundai Group headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Chairwoman Hyun was reappointed after her first honorary governor appointment in 2022.

Chairwoman Hyun established ties with Chungbuk Province in 2019 when she decided to relocate the headquarters and production plant of the group's key affiliate, Hyundai Elevator, to Chungju. The Hyundai Elevator Chungju Campus is a complex space on a 172,759㎡ site, including the headquarters, elevator manufacturing facilities, and dormitories. About 600 employees produce approximately 25,000 elevators annually, contributing to the local economy.

Additionally, Hyundai Elevator has actively supported social contribution activities linked with local community organizations such as Chungju City Hall, Chungju Volunteer Center, and Korea National University of Transportation.

Chairwoman Hyun said, "Chungbuk Province, located in the central part of South Korea, is an economic, educational, and cultural hub with geographical advantages, dreaming of a new leap forward. As Honorary Governor, I will do my best to help Chungbuk develop into South Korea's top industrial cluster."
