As part of the corporate reshuffle, Shin Yoon Yeol, the former vice president of Lotte Chemical and son of Lotte chairman Shin Dong Bin, has been promoted to head Lotte Corporation as senior vice president. He will lead the newly launched unit under the holding company dedicated to the company’s new businesses.

Some new external recruitment appointees include Kim So Yeon as chief of Lotte AMC, Chang Chae Hun for Lotte Property & Development, and Park Ik Jin for Lotte On. The three female executives are the company’s highest female representation since 2018, when Lotte appointed its first female chief.
