KOREA WHO

Choi Eun-young is the chairperson of Eusu Holdings (formerly Hanjin Shipping Holdings). She also serves as the chairperson of the subsidiary CyberLogitec.

She was born on May 3, 1962, as the eldest daughter of Shin Jeong-sook, the younger sister of the late Shin Kyuk-ho, former chairman of the Lotte Group.

Choi graduated from Seoul Seongshim Girls' High School and the Department of English Literature at Seongshim University in Tokyo, Japan.

Choi Eun-young is the daughter-in-law of the late Cho Joong-hoon, the founder of Hanjin Group, and the wife of the late Cho Su-ho, former chairman of Hanjin Shipping.

After being a housewife for many years, Choi entered the business world in March 2007, following the death of her husband Cho Su-ho in 2006. She became the vice-chairperson of Hanjin Shipping.

In December 2009, she assigned the shipping business to a newly established company, Hanjin Shipping, and changed the name of the parent company to Hanjin Shipping Holdings.

In November 2014, she sold all shares of Hanjin Shipping to her brother-in-law, the late Cho Yang-ho, former chairman of Hanjin Group, completing the separation between Hanjin Group and Hanjin Shipping Holdings. The name of Hanjin Shipping Holdings was also changed to Eusu Holdings.

Eusu Holdings primarily focuses on logistics, but under Choi's leadership, the company expanded into the food and retail industries.

She values communication with employees so much that she prefers to be called “Dongdaemun (DDM)” rather than “Chairperson.” DDM is a nickname derived from the code for owner-managers, "DD," with the addition of "M" for Madam, symbolizing her leadership style.
