BNK Financial Group held a subsidiary chief executive officer (CEO) candidate recommendation committee meeting on the 17th and recommended Kim Tae-han, deputy governor of Gyeongnam Bank, as the candidate for the next president of Gyeongnam Bank. This recommendation was made as Ye Kyung-tak, the current president of Gyeongnam Bank, decided to retire.

The committee decided on a one-year reappointment for Bang Sung-bin, president of Busan Bank, and Kim Sung-joo, CEO of BNK Capital. Representatives of BNK Financial Group's subsidiaries can initially serve a two-year term, after which they can be reappointed on a yearly basis.

For the next representative candidate of BNK Asset Management, Song Kyung-sik, former president of BNK Securities, was recommended, and for the next representative candidate of BNK Credit Information, Shin Tae-soo, former deputy governor of Gyeongnam Bank, was also decided to be recommended. Subsidiaries of BNK Financial Group will finalize the appointment of the next representative through the executive recommendation committee, board of directors, and shareholders' meeting.
