The 32nd board of chairpersons, with a three-year term, consists of 46 members, including 16 new appointees. This is 8 more members than the 31st board. Newly appointed chairpersons include key executives from major corporations such as Lee Gye-in, President of POSCO International; Jeong Yeon-in, Vice Chairman of Doosan Enerbility; Woo Ki-hong, President of Korean Air; Park Seung-yong, President of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries; Kang Gu-young, President of Korea Aerospace Industries; and Yoon Tae-bong, Vice President of LG Electronics. Additionally, representatives from major industries and small to medium-sized enterprises have newly joined, including Yoon Hong-geun, Chairman of Genesis BBQ Group (Food), and Ryu Hyung-sun, CEO of Dasan Pharmaceutical (Chairman of the Korea Pharmaceutical Traders Association - Bio sector).

KITA expects that with the participation of large corporations, quasi-large corporations, mid-sized companies, and small businesses focused on exports in this board, its status as a representative organization voicing the diverse opinions of the export industry will be strengthened.

Yoon Jin-sik, Chairman of KITA, stated, "The newly launched board of chairpersons has not only increased in size but also diversified in composition with many leading companies in new industries such as nuclear power, electric vehicles, and aerospace participating. We will strive to ensure that the new board leads discussions to effectively address the immediate challenges of the trade industry and serves as a representative channel presenting future trade agendas."
