Oh Kyung-seok, the new CEO of Dunamu, said on the 27th, "I will steadily build a technical foundation so that Upbit can evolve into an intelligent digital asset platform." Oh made this remark during his welcome speech after the proposal for his appointment as an inside director was passed at Dunamu's extraordinary shareholders' meeting that morning.
Oh noted, "I feel a heavy sense of responsibility as I take on the leadership of Dunamu during this historic turning point when the institutionalization of the digital asset market is progressing in earnest." He added, "As the new CEO of Dunamu, I will focus on the essence centered around our customers, make bold investments for a strong advantage in technology and security, and drive Upbit's next leap through continuous service innovation and global expansion."
He diagnosed that "especially in recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, particularly generative AI, is quickly changing the paradigm of the digital asset market," and added, "This requires fundamental innovation in the core functions of digital asset platforms, such as customer interaction automation, anomaly transaction detection, and personalized asset management services."
He emphasized, "Dunamu plans to embrace these technological changes as opportunities rather than threats, and enhance its platform's competitiveness by strengthening AI-based technology and data capabilities."
He stated, "I will also take the lead in creating a healthy market environment and fulfilling social responsibility based on transparent operations and the practice of ESG values, and I aspire to grow Dunamu into a representative innovative company of Korea that can proudly compete on the global stage."
At the shareholders' meeting held that day, with the passage of the proposal for Oh's appointment as an inside director, he will commence his role as CEO of Dunamu starting from the 1st of next month. Lee Seok-woo, the former CEO, is expected to continue his activities as a management advisor at Dunamu after his retirement.
