SK Group has transferred three senior vice chairmen from holding company SK Inc. to SK hynix: So Jin-woo, Yu Jeong-joon and Lee Hyung-hee. The move concentrates leadership and resources at the group’s flagship chipmaker as it pursues a longer-term artificial-intelligence semiconductor strategy. Since August, the executives have interviewed about 250 SK hynix presidents and executives, excluding CEO Kwak Noh-jung, to identify priorities, structural issues and leadership needs. The shift reinforces SK hynix’s position as the group’s dominant affiliate and follows its strong second-quarter results, including 60.5426 trillion won in operating profit and a 50% share of high-bandwidth memory revenue. SK Group will postpone this year’s SK AI Summit until the first half of 2027 and plans to expand it around Nvidia’s annual GTC conference in San Jose.
