Chairman of SK Group said, "It would help our economy if businessmen are included in special pardons in Liberation Day."

The South Korean economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, but it is facing challenges such as the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused a slowdown in global trade. The government is working to support businesses and promote economic growth.

Choi Tae-won, chairman of SK Group and chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, held a press conference at the 45th Jeju Forum on the 13th.
Chairman Choi said, "There have been many incidents so far, so I think this shock can be overcome," and stressed, "Among many companies around the world, the constitution of Korea (company) is very strong in the crisis."
He said the inclusion of entrepreneurs in the special amnesty for Liberation Day would help the Korean economy.
He added, "The amnesty issue is the president's unique authority, so it has always been my position to ask to take more leniency if possible."
About 600 chairmen and businessmen from all over the country, including Chairman Choi, attended the Jeju Forum, which was held again for the first time in three years due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
At the forum, government figures, including Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs and Minister of Strategy and Finance Choo Kyung-ho and Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Lee Chang-yang, attended to explain the economic direction of the Yoon Seok-yeol government.

The economy of the Republic of Korea is operated by a bureaucracy that actively supports chaebol companies. In the new government, the trend is expected to continue.
