Hyundai Group Chairperson Hyun Jeong-eun has been reappointed as the honorary governor of North Chungcheong Province, recognizing her and Hyundai's contributions to regional development. The appointment ceremony took place at Hyundai Group's headquarters in Seoul, attended by Kim Yong-hwan, the governor of North Chungcheong Province, and Hyun Jeong-eun. In her speech, Hyun expressed her commitment to support the province's development into the nation's premier industrial cluster, emphasizing the region's potential as an economic, educational, and cultural hub. The honorary governorship is bestowed upon distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions to the region's development, involving them in various provincial activities, including policy suggestions and advisory roles. This marks Hyun's second term as honorary governor, with the relationship between her and North Chungcheong Province strengthening in 2019 when Hyundai Elevator relocated its headquarters and manufacturing facilities to the region. Since then, Hyundai Elevator has actively engaged in social activities, including employing individuals with disabilities, making charitable donations, and participating in recovery efforts following severe flooding in the area. In summary, Hyun's reappointment as honorary governor recognizes her and Hyundai's contributions to the development of North Chungcheong Province, and underscores the deepening relationship between the company and the region, particularly through Hyundai Elevator's relocation and subsequent engagement in social activities and community support.
