KOREA WHO

Lee In-ok is the Chairman and largest shareholder of CR Holdings.

CR Holdings is the parent company of Chosun Refractories, the only comprehensive refractory manufacturer in Korea, supplying refractories to POSCO and other clients.

Refractories are materials similar to special bricks that can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees Celsius, primarily used in blast furnaces at steel mills.

He is the third generation leading Chosun Refractories, following in the footsteps of the founder Lee Hoon-dong and honorary chairman Lee Hwa-il (also Chairman of Seongok Cultural Foundation).

Born in 1971 in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, he is the eldest of two sons and one daughter to honorary chairman Lee Hwa-il and Moon Il-kyung.

He graduated from Hyundai High School in Seoul and Brown University in the United States.

He joined Chosun Refractories and progressed through the roles of Senior Vice President and Vice Chairman before becoming Chairman in 2013.

Since Chosun Refractories was divided into a holding company (CR Holdings) and an operating company (Chosun Refractories) through a physical split in July 2023, he has held shares but no position in Chosun Refractories.

Chosun Refractories has maintained a professional management system for over 20 years since the inauguration of Chairman Lee Hwa-il in 1999.
