Korea Zinc Audit Committee to Review Alleged Diversion of Corporate Funds for Yun B. Choi’s Private Benefit

The Korea Zinc Audit Committee has agreed to review allegations that corporate funds were diverted to advance the private interests of director Yun B. Choi, as well as potential conflicts of interest, at its next meeting. The committee will also respond to a request for an independent investigation into the flow of funds, decision-making processes, and the involvement of directors.

The allegations involve two sets of transactions: one involving Korea Zinc purchasing bonds and commercial paper issued by companies linked to Chang-bae Ji, Choi's associate, and the other involving potential conflicts of interest from investments in entertainment companies where Choi and his family held personal investments or ownership interests.

Young Poong and MBK Partners requested an investigation into whether Choi's prior personal investments influenced Korea Zinc's financing decisions and whether corporate funds were used to protect or advance Choi's private interests.
