Kim Eui-joon, general director of the Korea National Ballet (KNO), was named president of Lotte Hall, a classical music hall under construction in Jamsil, southern Seoul, Monday.
Kim handed in his notice as general director earlier this year, but his resignation was not accepted until Monday because the KNO was without a chief. He will take office as president of Lotte Hall on May 1.
Kim began his career in music at the Seoul Arts Center in 1984. He also served as president of the LG Arts Center for 15 years and took the helm of the KNO in August 2011.
