Koo Jayeol, Chairman of the LS Board, Nominated as Head of the Korea-Japan Economic Association

Koo Jayeol, Chairman of the Board of LS, has been nominated as the new chairman of the Korea-Japan Economic Association, the largest business exchange organization between Korea and Japan.

According to the business community on the 12th, the Korea-Japan Economic Association plans to hold a board meeting and regular general meeting on the 25th, where it will pass an agenda item appointing Chairman Koo as the 16th chairman.

If Chairman Koo takes office as scheduled, it will mark the first leadership change at the Korea-Japan Economic Association in 12 years. The current chairman, Kim Yoon, chairman of Samyang Holdings, has held the post since 2014.

Founded in 1981, the Korea-Japan Economic Association, together with its Japanese partner organization, the Japan-Korea Economic Association, organizes the annual Korea-Japan Business Conference as an exchange event.

There is also a possibility that the new chairman Koo will meet with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the 58th Korea-Japan Business Conference, which is scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan, in May.

Korean business leaders have in the past visited the Tokyo official residence during the Korea-Japan Business Conference to pay a courtesy call on the prime minister.
