Six fourth-generation minor children of the Hyosung Group owner family have acquired stakes in Hyosung Corp. worth a total of 4 billion won.

Hyosung Corp. announced on Dec. 5 that six children of group chairman Cho Hyun-jun and president Cho Hyun-sang bought a total of 50,168 common shares of Hyosung Corp. from Nov. 27 to Dec. 3.

The chairman's two daughters In-young and In-seo each acquired a 0.06 percent stake while his eldest son Jae-hyun bought a 0.04 percent stake. The president’s two daughters In-hee and Soo-in and his eldest son Jae-ha each acquired a 0.04 percent stake.
