Question · Q3 2025
Shin Eun-jung from DB Securities inquired about the detailed process for KT's new CEO appointment. Shin also asked whether a change in CEO would impact the company's ongoing value-up plan or if the plan's direction would remain consistent.
Answer
KT CFO Min Jang outlined the CEO appointment process, which officially began on November 4th. The Director Candidate Recommendation Committee, composed of eight independent directors, will select a pool of candidates from external recommendations, open calls, shareholder recommendations, and internal candidates. This committee will conduct screenings and interviews to select one CEO candidate by year-end, who will then be confirmed by the Board of Directors and finally appointed at the 2026 General Meeting of Shareholders. Regarding the value-up plan, Min Jang affirmed its sustainability, stating it was a BOD resolution disclosed in November of the previous year with implementation progress shared in May. He emphasized that a CEO change would not invalidate the plan, as the BOD remains committed to its direction and the action plans promised to the market.
