[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Naver (NAVER) is reportedly set to hold a board meeting next week to discuss the replacement of CEO Han Seong-suk.
According to IT industry insiders on the 11th, Naver plans to discuss the appointment of a new CEO to succeed Han at the board meeting on the 17th.
The board's Personnel Recommendation Committee has been conducting extensive and thorough reviews of potential CEO candidates following Han's recent resignation announcement.
