Newly appointed Vice President Kim is a business development and strategy expert who served as Chief Business Development Officer and Vice President at Nexon until 2018. He will be responsible for overall business strategy alongside Park Sungmin, CEO of Line Games.
Yoon, the new CTO with outstanding skills in technology and development, plans to establish a system where the company's and individuals' technical capabilities grow together. He will foster a development culture where live projects and new development teams share know-how with each other.
Following CEO Park and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Shin Kwonho, Line Games has completed its new executive appointments and aims to successfully enter the market with the upcoming Genesis IP console and mobile new titles scheduled for release within the year.
Vice President Kim expressed his ambition, saying, "Games are cultural content enjoying great popularity worldwide, but there are still many people who do not play games yet. Through various fresh attempts such as the convergence of games and e-commerce, and games and the food service industry, we will actively expand the scope of games."
