KB Financial begins choosing next CEO

Three outside personnel search bodies to shortlist bets for interview May 20 and selection by mid-June.

KB Financial Group will come up with a group of candidates for its presidency by the middle of this month and finalise its choice next month.

The recommendation committee of outside directors held a meeting in Seoul, Wednesday, and decided that nominees will be selected for interview by May 20 and the finalist picked by mid-June.

If the finalist earns a final nod at a shareholders' meeting, he will be inaugurated for a three-year term.

Current Kookmin Bank CEO Kang Chung-won was nominated as group leader, but withdrew.

To bring transparency to the process, three outside personnel search organisations will be used to create a pool of candidates.

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.
