Kornic Automation Appoints Seo Jong-hoo and Kim Ho-jung as New Co-CEOs After Kim Hyuk's Resignation
Kornic Automation announced on July 13, 2026 that CEO Kim Hyuk resigned due to personal reasons and appointed Seo Jong-hoo and Kim Ho-jung as new co-CEOs.
The board unanimously approved the resolution with all two outside directors and the auditor present.
New CEO Seo Jong-hoo previously served as CEO of Hanwha Robotics and Hummin Robotics, while CEO Kim Ho-jung currently serves as president of Kornic Automation and holds a 2.33% stake in the company.
[AI Summary]This leadership change is a routine management transition with no capital structure changes or shareholder dilution. While the new CEOs have relevant experience, the lack of detailed strategic direction warrants a cautious outlook in the near term.
