Kakao’s union said on Monday it issued a statement criticising the sudden resignation of Chief Product Officer Hong Min-taek as a collapse of accountable management by the company’s leadership. The union said excessive working hours, a worsening organisational culture and disputes over performance-based rewards arose during his tenure amid aggressive projects including the “KakaoTalk Big Bang Project”. It said management offered no responsible explanation and called the resignation a “quiet exit” that avoided accountability.

Kakao labor talks break down again, raising prospect of first HQ strike

Kakao’s headquarters labor and management failed to reach a final agreement in a second mediation session on May 27 at the Gyeonggi Provincial Labor Relations Commission, granting the union legal rights to strike. The two sides remain divided over wage hikes and performance compensation, including bonuses and institutionalising RSUs. With the headquarters included, five Kakao entities now hold dispute rights after a strike vote passed. The union is seen as unlikely to launch an immediate full strike.
