His term is four years.

The 58-year-old Seoul native graduated from the business administration department of Seoul National University in 1979, acquired a Ph.D. in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S. in 1990, and served as president of KTF and KT from 2003 to 2008.
