New Year’s Board of Directors Meeting – January 5, 2025

Dear Esteemed Members of the Firm,

The new year of 2025 has dawned. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who continue to dedicate yourselves to your work despite challenging circumstances.

As we welcome the new year, I extend my warmest New Year’s greetings to all members of the firm. When I assumed my position, I shared with you the new vision and direction of change for Grant Thornton Daejoo — that we must become a "respected professional organization in the market" and earn trust through rigorous quality control.

Grant Thornton Daejoo not only provides audit services but also engages in various other areas such as management consulting, tax filings, and advisory services. I urge you to pay even closer attention to quality management across all areas of our work. Ultimately, our firm should strive to become a professional organization recognized by clients for our quality and expertise by helping them resolve their challenges. We will continue to support each and every member so that your individual abilities can be fully exercised and combined to generate the greatest synergy. By contributing to the creation of value for our clients, Daejoo will earn their trust and continue to grow sustainably into the future.

Dear colleagues, I sincerely wish you all good health and happiness for you and your families in the new year.

Wishing you a Happy New Year. Thank you.

Kim Young-Baek, CEO
