[THE INVESTOR] Kakaobank on Dec. 7 said it has decided to reappoint co-CEOs Yun Ho-young and Lee Yong-woo to lead the operations after their current two-year tenure ends on Jan. 2. 

The nomination committee of the internet-only bank has recommended the inaugural heads to helm another two-year term until 2021.

“Lee, as a financial expert, has contributed in establishing the bank and to get it up and running in the financial market,” Kakaobank said in a statement. “Following its launch, he played a crucial role in delivering exponential growth and outstanding management accomplishment.”
