Former SK Telecom President Ryu Young-sang received a total of 3.407 billion won in compensation last year. His salary was 1.54 billion won and his bonus was 1.82 billion won, with the bonus accounting for more than half.
According to SK Telecom's 2025 business report on the 18th, the former president received a salary totaling 1.54 billion won last year, paid monthly at 128.3 million won. In addition, a bonus of 1.82 billion won and about 47 million won in executive welfare benefits were added.
SK Telecom said the former president's bonus reflected role and position, leadership, and compensation standards. It was calculated by comprehensively considering the achievement level of quantitative indicators such as 2024 revenue and operating profit, along with non-quantitative indicators such as leadership in carrying out strategic tasks and generating management performance, and the bonus was paid early last year.
President Jung Jai-hun, who served as chief governance officer (CGO) through Oct. last year, received 2.079 billion won in compensation last year. Jung worked as CGO from January to October last year and was appointed chief executive officer (CEO) in November. Accordingly, his annual salary was set and paid at 1 billion won for January to October, and 1.4 billion won after his appointment as CEO. Executive welfare benefits, categorized as other earned income, were 12 million won.
Meanwhile, SK Telecom replaced its chief executive in Oct. last year in the aftermath of a USIM hacking incident. The company plans to vote on appointing CEO Jung as an inside director at the 42nd annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on the 26th.
