Woori Bank to choose president from 6 bets

The group said the selected president to be approved by the board in mid-March.

Woori Finance Holdings Co., Korea’s No. 2 banking group, said on Friday that it has accepted applications from six candidates for the new presidency of its flagship banking unit.

The state-run banking group said its seven-member special presidential selection committee has completed the acceptance of applications to lead Woori Bank, the second-largest lender in Korea, a three-year term.

Woori Bank is currently headed by Lee Chong-hwi, whose term ends in late March.

The selection comes as incumbent group Chairman Lee Pal-seung was nominated to head Woori Finance for another three years in an effort to help accelerate the stalled privatization of the banking group.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
