Hyundai Group Chair Hyun Jeong-eun Reappointed Honorary Governor of North Chungcheong

Hyundai Group Chairwoman Hyun Jeong-eun has been reappointed as honorary governor of North Chungcheong Province.

Hyundai Group said on the 5th that Hyun received the honorary governor plaque from North Chungcheong Governor Shin Yong-han at a ceremony held on the 2nd at Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul in Seoul's Jung-gu district. The honorary governor program appoints prominent figures who have contributed to regional development, inviting them to take part in various provincial support activities such as policy recommendations and advisory roles. Hyun was first appointed in 2020 and has since continued through renewals and reappointments. The latest appointment is expected to serve as an occasion for Hyundai Group and the ninth elected provincial administration of North Chungcheong, which took office in July, to sustain their partnership for regional development and broaden the scope of mutual growth.

Hyundai Group has continued activities aimed at shared growth with local communities. Hyundai Elevator (017800.KS) launched the Orak choir for people with disabilities and last year donated proceeds from its in-house cafe Elice, staffed by employees with disabilities, to the North Chungcheong Welfare Center for the Disabled. The company also operates an industry-academia education program with Chungju Technical High School, supporting the development of local talent.

"I find it meaningful that the relationship between North Chungcheong and Hyundai Group has grown into a partnership that develops alongside the local community," Hyun said. "Going forward, we will continue to lend our support, based on cooperation for mutual growth, as North Chungcheong takes a fresh leap toward the future."
