Hana Bank CEO Kim Jong-jun, 58, has married a woman 19 years his junior.
He posted six photographs of the wedding on his social networking site Tuesday. This is Kim’s second marriage _ his first wife died three years ago.
Sources close to Kim confirmed Wednesday that he was wed to a 39-year-old woman at the Westin Chosun Hotel in central Seoul on March 22. Only family, close friends and colleagues were invited.
They first met at an international meeting last year, which Kim attended on behalf of the chairman of the Hana Financial Group. Kim’s future wife was present as a translator and protocol secretary.
Kim, who has a 29-year-old son, attempted to set her up with junior colleagues but the two came to care for each other. They together attended public events, making their relationship official. Kim, who was appointed CEO of Hana Bank in 2012, had his term extended a year at the general stockholders’ meeting on March 20.
