Introducing the winners of the Alumni Achievement Award
As Sungkyunkwan University's SKK GSB celebrates its 20th anniversary, we presented the 'Alumni Achievement Award' to three alumni who made distinguished achievements in their fields. SKK GSB received recommendations from alumni, and after reviewing them, selected the winners of the Alumni Achievement Award: Byunghyun Ahn, the CEO of Kyobo Book Centre, Mi-Sun Yang, the General Manager of Ipsen Korea, and Jee Woo Lim, the CEO of POSCO HY Clean Metal. Byunghyun Ahn, who graduated from SKK GSB at Sungkyunkwan University in 2009, has received recognition for his contribution to the digitalization of Kyobo Book Centre, which was previously centered on offline book distribution channels, by building digital infrastructure and boosting online business. Jee Woo Lim, who graduated the Full-Time MBA program in 2015, has been recognized for his technical expertise, professionalism, and leadership at POSCO since 1998. This recognition led to his promotion to CEO of POSCO HY Clean Metal this year.

Professor Youngju Nielsen's Interview in the Korea Economic Daily
Professor Youngju Nielsen of SKK GSB, a retirement planning expert, met with Pål Bergström, the CEO of AP7, Sweden's public pension institution. The Korea Economic Daily interviewed Professor Nielsen and CEO Bergström to uncover the key to Sweden's position as having the highest return of any National Pension Fund in the world. South Koreans mainly pay into a capital-guaranteed retirement pension, which has an average return rate of only 1.8%. Whereas, Swedes pay 16% of their income into a pension similar to the Korean National Insurance Fund, and 2.5% of the income goes into the premium pension where they can choose their investment options. If a premium pension plan participant does not choose a pension management company or product, 2.5% of their income goes into the AP7, the National Insurance Fund. AP7's recent 10-year return rate is an annual average 15%, making it the top public pension. The key to AP7's high return rate was raising stock allocation to 90%. Professor Nielsen and CEO Bergström collectively argued that the stock allocation of the retirement pension should be raised, which would provide South Koreans could receive a pension that ensures a financially secure retirement.
