New Deputy Governor Kim Byung-chil joined the Bank of Korea in 1995 and moved to the FSS in 1999, where he served in the Banking Supervision Bureau and the General Supervision Bureau, eventually holding positions such as Director of the General Supervision Bureau and Deputy Governor. While serving as Deputy Governor, he has overseen strategic supervision areas including real estate project financing (PF), responses to the Tmon and Wemakeprice incidents, and virtual asset supervision. Going forward, as Deputy Governor in charge of banking and small financial institutions, he will lead major issues such as household debt management and restructuring of real estate PF.
The FSS also appointed two new Deputy Governors on the same day. Seo Jae-wan, Director of the Capital Market Supervision Bureau, was appointed Deputy Governor for Financial Investment, and Lee Seung-woo, Director of the Investigation Bureau 1, was appointed Deputy Governor for Disclosure and Investigation.
New Deputy Governor Seo Jae-wan joined the FSS in 2000 as part of the first open recruitment class and is the first from this class to be appointed Deputy Governor in this personnel reshuffle. Deputy Governor Seo has developed expertise in capital markets through his experience in key supervisory departments such as the Capital Market Supervision Bureau, Asset Management Supervision Bureau, and Corporate Disclosure Bureau.
New Deputy Governor Lee Seung-woo joined the Securities Supervisory Service in 1995 and has long been recognized as a top expert in disclosure and investigation, having worked extensively in these departments. Last year, he swiftly handled major cases including the first detection of illegal short selling and fraudulent trading linked to short selling by global investment banks.
Hwang Sun-oh, Deputy Governor for Financial Investment, moved to the position of Deputy Governor in charge of Strategy and Supervision, which became vacant due to Kim Byung-chil’s appointment as Deputy Governor in this personnel reshuffle.
