Sh Suhyup Bank has advanced all six applicants to interviews in its chief executive selection process, with incumbent CEO Shin Hak-ki and Lee Hyung-joo, head of the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), viewed by financial industry officials as the leading contenders. The other candidates are former Sh Suhyup Bank deputy CEOs Chung Chul-kyun and Park Yang-soo, Lee Hyung-seung, an outside director at BNK Investment & Securities, and Kang Chul-seung, head of the Korea Fisheries Policy Forum. The nomination committee reviewed applications on September 9, will hold interviews on September 21 and plans to select a final candidate on September 22. Lee’s bid has also prompted speculation about a reshuffling of senior Financial Services Commission (FSC) officials, including a potential move by Securities and Futures Commission standing commissioner Park Min-woo to Korea Money Brokerage and as many as three Grade 1 vacancies.
