KCCI Head Calls For Comprehensive Organizational Reform

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, who leads the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, on Feb. 12 called for comprehensive reform after the KCCI issued a disputed press release last week. The release claimed 2,400 wealthy individuals left South Korea in 2025, citing Henley & Partners, and President Lee Jae Myung denounced it as "intentional fake news." Chey said the KCCI will suspend public events and pursue internal reforms and substantive policy recommendations, including support for the AI industry.
