KOREA WHO

Lee Seung-chan is the Chairman of Kyeryong Construction Industrial.

He has shifted from conservative management focused on internal stability to a more aggressive expansion strategy. Lee has diversified the company’s business portfolio by expanding into distribution (such as highway rest areas) and leisure businesses (such as golf course management). Additionally, he has been promoting growth in modular housing, smart farming, and shared housing sectors.

Born on November 27, 1976, in Daejeon, he is the youngest son and only son of Kyeryong Construction Industrial’s founder, Lee In-gu.

Lee graduated from Daejeon High School and studied economics at Yonsei University. He earned both a master's and doctorate in architectural engineering from Chungnam National University.

He began his career at Doosan Construction, gaining industry experience, before joining Kyeryong Construction Industrial as a director. He rose through the ranks, serving as senior managing director, executive vice president, and chief operating officer, eventually becoming president and CEO.

As a second-generation executive leader, he held the CEO role but stepped down upon his promotion to chairman on March 28, 2023, retaining only his position as an inside director on the board.
