Shinhan Financial Group said on the 5th that it held the "second-half 2026 management forum" at the Shinhan Bank Blue Campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi, on the 3rd–4th. The forum, under the slogan "Vibrant Shinhan, overwhelming focus," focused on strengthening market position and achieving an artificial intelligence transition (AX).
The forum featured: ▲ viewing a video assuming "in 2030, Shinhan Financial Group has disappeared from the market" ▲ a lecture on "Shinhan's current status as seen from the outside" ▲ a review of business execution and lessons learned ▲ a group AX in-depth assessment. In particular, an in-house–built AI agent by Shinhan Financial was used as a "red team" for internal debates.
The AI agent analyzed the executives' discussions in real time to present counterarguments and alternatives, and it also evaluated pre-assignments and team presentation drafts. Jin Ok-dong, chairman of Shinhan Financial Group, said, "Based on Shinhan's unique wild spirit, we must lead market competition and future financial innovation," urging executives to fundamentally change their mindset.
Jin said, "Will and determination alone cannot achieve our goals," adding, "Beyond developing distinctive products and services, we must set ambitious targets grounded in focus and teamwork." He continued, "Leaders should be the first to use artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen their own capabilities," and urged, "In the second half, I hope each of you builds a story you can be proud of."
