Woori Financial Group held a 'Digital Innovation Town Hall Meeting' at Woori Financial Digital Tower in Jung-gu, Seoul on Jan. 8. 

Sohn Tae-seung, chairman of Woori Financial Group, said at a non-face-to-face event attended by about 50 executives and employees, including Woori Bank CEO Kwon Kwang-seok, that he will provide drastic support to the group's digital sector like Big Tech.

Earlier in May last year, Chairman Sohn declared "Digital First, Change Everything" as the group's digital vision, launching the Digital Innovation Committee and serving as the chairman of the group's digital innovation. 

The town hall meeting was also held at the beginning of the year with Chairman Sohn's idea to provide a place to solve all the difficulties in the field in order to achieve breakthrough results this year, Woori Financial Group said.

The town hall meeting included CEOs of major subsidiaries, including executives and employees in charge of digital affairs of the group, as well as those in charge of strategy, finance, personnel, and brands.

Chairman Sohn said, "To become a digital No.1, all executives, regardless of their affiliates should change their mindset and fully support for successful digital innovation."

When the digital organization asked for autonomy in budget or personnel management, Chairman Sohn called for "a drastic solution at the level of Big Tech to the extent that there are no bylaws or legal problems."

"Digital innovation is the group's top priority this year," said Kwon Kwang-seok, CEO of Woori Bank. "Our bank will also successfully support the group's digital innovation by setting 'Digital First, Digital Initiative' as its management goal."

"As obstacles to successful digital innovation have been cleared up, please make breakthrough results in the first half of this year," Chairman Sohn said. "As soon as the first half of the year passes, we will carefully evaluate the financial and non-financial performance of the group's digital innovation, including evaluation."
