iM金融集团确定下任会长6人初选名单，现任会长黄炳佑在列但其余人选保密

iM Financial Group has selected six candidates for its next chairman, including current Chairman Hwang Byung-woo.
The group's chairman nomination committee said it held a meeting on the 27th and finalized a longlist of six candidates to lead the company.
The committee spent about four weeks assessing internal and external candidates on qualifications, financial industry expertise and leadership after the management succession process began on Sept. 28. It also drew on vetting materials from an outside professional firm and evaluations by independent directors. The committee decided not to disclose the names of the candidates, citing the protection of their personal information and the independence of future evaluations.
The committee will conduct in-depth interviews with the candidates over the next four weeks. Independent directors plan to closely assess each candidate's management philosophy, vision for the group's future, leadership and managerial capabilities. Outside experts in fields such as financial management leadership will also hold separate interviews with the candidates.
Based on those results, the committee will finalize a shortlist in late November and recommend a final nominee in December. The final stage will include a session in which candidates present and debate their management direction for the group over the next three years.
"In selecting this longlist, we focused on standardizing the format of documents submitted by each candidate and using reputation data from an outside professional firm to improve the objectivity and fairness of the evaluation," said Cho Kang-rae, chairman of the nomination committee.
