Jeong Chan-woo, the fifth CEO of Korea Exchange, attends an inaugural ceremony held at the KRX headquarters in Busan on Wednesday. During his speech, Jeong pledged to make all-out efforts to push for restructuring of the KRX governance and boost global competitiveness of the country’s stock trading boards. Members of the KRX trade union boycotted the ceremony in protest against what they claim was a politically-motivated appointment of Jeong, a former vice chairman of the Financial Services Commission and an ex-aide to President Park Geun-hye.
