Hanwha Group is launching into a full-scale management accountability system as it carries out sweeping promotions of its third-generation executives.

According to an SBS report on the 30th, Hanwha Group is conducting personnel changes that uniformly elevate the ranks of the third-generation owner family, including promoting the eldest son, Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan, to Senior Vice Chairman. In this round of appointments, the second son, President Kim Dong-won, is slated to be promoted to Vice Chairman, and the third son, Vice President Kim Dong-sun, will be promoted to President.

Along with the promotions, their respective roles in the business divisions they oversee have become clearer. The eldest son, Senior Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan, will oversee overall management centered on the group's core strategic businesses—defense, shipbuilding, and energy—which he has been responsible for. The second son, Vice Chairman Kim Dong-won, will command the financial affiliates, while the third son, President Kim Dong-sun, will lead the machinery, robotics, semiconductor equipment, and distribution and services businesses.

Through these concurrent promotions, Hanwha Group's third-generation management accountability framework is expected to become even more solidified.
