Shinhan Financial Group has recommended Jin Ok-dong as its final candidate for a second three-year term as Chairman, a move that would see him continue to lead the South Korean financial conglomerate through to 2029. The nomination was announced on 4 December 2025 and is subject to approval at the group's annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2026.
Jin was first appointed Chairman of Shinhan Financial Group in March 2023. In putting him forward as the sole candidate for the renewed term, the group pointed to his first-term record, including record profits, rapid digitalisation and a sharp rise in market capitalisation.
MARCH 2026 SHAREHOLDER VOTE
Formal confirmation of Jin's appointment remains contingent on the outcome of the annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled for March 2026, where shareholders will vote on the recommendation.
