| Jae Keun Lee |
• With a 34-year career at KB Financial Group (the “Group”), Chairman and CEO candidate Mr. Jae Keun Lee possesses deep industry acumen and strategic insight honed across the Group’s core pillars, including Finance, Strategy, Global Operations, and Wealth Management (“WM”). In particular, while serving as the Head of Financial Planning and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Group, he played an instrumental role in the successful acquisitions of LIG Insurance, Hyundai Securities, and Woori Financial, thereby substantially contributing to the expansion and diversification of the Group’s non-banking business portfolio.
• Furthermore, as former CFO and Head of the Business Group at Kookmin Bank, he spearheaded profitability-focused expansion and systematized branch sales networks. Appointed as the industry’s youngest chief executive officer in 2022, he led the bank’s turnaround to reclaim the leading bank title by fundamentally reshaping the profit structure. Since 2025, as Senior Executive Vice President of the Group, he has overseen the Global, WM, and SME businesses—key strategic areas for the Group—driving sustainable performance and bolstering future market competitiveness.
• Additionally, he brings collaborative leadership committed to mutual growth with diverse stakeholders and has demonstrated decisive execution capabilities to maximize the Group’s potential amid a rapidly shifting financial environment and accelerating asset reallocation.
• The nominee for Chairman and CEO, Jae Keun Lee, fully satisfies all eligibility criteria stipulated by relevant laws and regulations, including the Act on Corporate Governance of Financial Companies. At this critical juncture demanding bold transformation to reinforce the Group’s core fundamental competitiveness and secure future growth engines, he is deemed the ideal leader to successfully steer the Group, and is hereby recommended as the candidate for the next Chairman and CEO.
