Kim Jong-jun, former chief executive of Hana Capital, launched his two-year term as Hana Bank CEO on Thursday.

His predecessor Kim Jung-tai will take office as chairman of Hana Financial Group on March 26.

The new Hana Bank CEO has said he would do his best to help the parent company Hana Financial become one of the world’s top 50 financial groups by supporting the new chairman.

Born in Busan in 1956, Kim graduated from Sungkyunkwan University before he began his career as a banker at Korea Investment Finance, a former entity of Hana Bank, in 1980.

Earlier this month, Hana Financial Group selected the group’s new top three executives ― chairman Kim, president Choe Heung-sik and bank CEO Kim.
