Maeil Business Newspaper's annual selection of the "100 Top CEOs of Korea" announced that Chairman Choi Byung-oh of Hyungji Fashion Group (www.hyungji.co.kr) was selected for the 13th consecutive year.
Maeil Business Newspaper recommended Chairman Choi Byung-oh of Hyungji Fashion Group as a self-made CEO who built a national representative fashion company with sales of 1 trillion won from scratch.
Chairman Choi Byung-oh started the clothing business in 1982 and launched "Crocodile Lady" in 1996, pioneering the women's adult casual wear blue ocean. After successfully launching "Shatren" and "Olivia Hasler," he acquired prestigious fashion brands such as "Esquire," "Yezak," "Elite Student Uniform," and "Castelbajac," operating 2,000 stores nationwide with 20 brands, making it a national representative fashion company.
As such, Chairman Choi manages three listed companies, Hyungji I&C, Hyungji Elite, and Castelbajac, as well as Hyungji Esquire, Artmalling, etc.
In particular, he received the Gold Tower Industrial Merit Award at the 37th Textile Day in November last year in recognition of his business diversification, eco-friendly and ESG management for 41 years. This is the third award after the Iron Tower Industrial Merit Award in 2004 and the Silver Tower Industrial Merit Award in 2010, solidifying his position as a leader in Korea's textile and fashion industry.
Last August, he was appointed as the chairman of the Korea Textile Industry Federation, actively contributing to the revitalization and development of Korea's textile and fashion industry.
His active efforts, such as the "Caravan Team" activity, which involves directly visiting and listening to the difficulties of textile companies nationwide, founding the Sustainable Circular Economy Forum, and expanding AI technology support through a business agreement with Naver Cloud, have also been highly evaluated.
Hyungji Fashion Group Chairman Choi said that they are moving into a new office building in Songdo International City, Incheon, after ending the era of the Seoul, Yeoksam office building in 2022, strengthening global capabilities and using it as a hub for research and development. They are trying to achieve the vision of "Global Hyungji" beyond national representative fashion.
