From Kakao to Line Yahoo: KakaoGames launches new management setup
KakaoGames has launched a co-CEO management structure as it accelerates a shift to a Line Yahoo-led setup following a change in its top shareholder. Shareholders approved the appointment of Kim Tae-hwan and Lee Si-woo as inside directors, and the board later named them co-CEOs. The company said 300 billion won in new funds flowed in through a share sale and convertible bonds. Key tasks include detailing Line Yahoo synergies and delivering results from new game launches in the second half.
