About Cho Hyun-joon

Cho Hyun-joon chairs the diversified Hyosung Group, whose interests include textiles, chemicals and construction.

He is the elder son of former chairman Cho Seok-rae, who stepped down at the end of 2016.

Cho worked at Mitsubishi International and Morgan Stanley before joining Hyosung. He owns a bigger stake than his father due to succession planning.

He was sentenced to prison terms in January 2016 for embezzlement. He is appealing the conviction.

Cho's sentencing was suspended for three years, allowing him to continue running Hyosung.
