iM Financial Group holds a New Year kick-off ceremony on Thursday at iM Bank's second headquarters in Daegu with Chairman Hwang Byung-woo, affiliate CEOs and employees.
The ceremony opens with a calligraphy performance. Hwang and affiliate CEOs join a calligraphy artist and use a brush to inscribe the letter i of iM, renewing their resolve for the new year.
In a New Year address, Hwang declares that in a management environment where a major AI transition is rapidly taking shape, the group will identify tasks optimized to its capabilities and build success stories.
He adds that it will also respond quickly to social demands such as productive finance, inclusive finance, financial consumer protection and stronger internal controls. He stresses that the group should view this not as simple compliance but as an opportunity to secure new sources of revenue and create a virtuous cycle that enables joint growth with stakeholders.
Hwang also says iM must deliver its own impact and will work to move closer to realizing its vision as a hybrid financial group.
