There is a link to a screenshot at the bottom.
Here’s a clean, structured interpretation of the “Status of Officers and Employees” table you pulled from the DKME business report, with context and governance implications surfaced so you can use this in your ongoing control-path mapping. All factual elements are grounded in the page you’re viewing dart.fss.or.kr.
Executive & Director Structure (as of Dec 31, 2024)
1. Coretec-Aligned Directors (Installed 2024.12.13 – Terms end 2027.12.13)

- Term: 2024.12.13 ? 2027.12.13
- Notes: Although labeled “independent,” the timing of the appointment aligns with Coretec’s slate.
2. Pre-existing Directors (Terms ending July 13, 2026)
These individuals predate the Coretec slate and represent the incumbent DKME/KIB Plug Energy governance layer.
- Baek Seung-ryun (1967.03)

3. Unregistered Officers (Executive Employees, not Board Members)
These individuals form the operational layer of DKME/KB Plug Energy.
- Baek Young-ki (1965.10)
- Position: Vice President, Full-time
- Department: Chemical Engineering HQ
- Tenure: Since 2008.03.26
- Yoon Chang-an (1967.08)
- Position: Managing Director, Full-time
- Department: Chemical Quality
- Tenure: Since 2013.01.01
- Jin Woo-yeon (1969.03)
- Position: Managing Director, Full-time
- Department: Chemical Production

- Park Sang-joon (1975.04)
- Position: Assistant Managing Director, Full-time
- Department: Business Management
- Tenure: Since 2023.04.05
Governance Interpretation (Strategic Layer)
A. Board Composition Split
- Coretec-aligned bloc: 4 directors (Kim SK, Yusley, Lee JM, Yoo YS)
- Incumbent bloc: 4 directors (Baek SR, Choi SH, Son KD, Lee YH)
This creates a 4–4 structural equilibrium, which explains:
- The legal disputes over director authority in late 2025
- The court-ordered suspension of Coretec-aligned directors’ duties (as you already tracked)
- The strategic necessity of the February–May 2026 EGM cycle to reset board legitimacy
B. Operational Continuity
The unregistered officers (Baek YK, Yoon CA, Jin WY, Park SJ) represent the stable industrial backbone—long tenures, plant-level roles, and no shareholder-faction alignment. This is important for your valuation and risk modeling: operational continuity persists regardless of governance turbulence.
The writing is small because I had to make it small to fit on one screenshot.
