Hur is the first KB Kookmin chief to serve three consecutive terms. His third term will begin on Nov. 21.

Since joining KB Kookmin Bank in 1998, the 59-year-old CEO has held key positions in various units, including credit review and management planning. He was first named the bank’s chief in November 2017.
