Kim Won-kyu, chief executive officer of LS Securities, said, "Since changing our name to LS Securities and being incorporated into the group, our status has changed significantly. I encourage all employees to actively discover business opportunities that can enhance synergy with the group and to increase our execution capability."

According to LS Securities on the 3rd, CEO Kim noted in his New Year's address, "As the only financial company of LS Group, we must be recognized for having successfully fastened the first button".

CEO Kim also emphasized growth. He stated, "The difficulty of generating revenue has increased compared to the past, and there is a clear distinction between companies that are growing and those that are stagnating in the industry. If we cannot show growth, customers will never trust us."

To create a sustainable revenue model, CEO Kim stated that the company must enhance its digital business competitiveness and strengthen its capabilities in corporations. He added, "All divisions must discover new businesses for long-term growth."

CEO Kim emphasized the importance of adhering to compliance (internal controls). He said, "While our judgment may be swayed by immediate desires, we must remember that a single mistake can cause us to lose the reputation and trust we have built over time overnight. Let's strive to make compliance not something special but a part of our daily routine."

CEO Kim said, "Although we are in a challenging financial environment, I believe that if we form One Team, we can create results and grow into the best financial investment company. Let’s continuously challenge ourselves for customer success to achieve sustainable growth and contribute to creating a better society."
