Since 2020, he has been the president of the ㈜Hanhwa Support Division and has focused on discovering Hanwha Group's future new businesses and enhancing synergy between companies. It has been leading the acquisition team since the announcement of the acquisition of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in September last year, and plans to lead the PMI and early normalization of management after taking over as the new CEO of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.
