A Q&A with KFTC chair Joh Sung-wook

Former Seoul National University professor Joh Sung-wook was tapped to head Korea’s Fair Trade Commission by the country’s president last September. Since her appointment, Joh has vowed to tackle abusive business practices by dominant conglomerates and level the competitive playing field for smaller companies. In an interview with GCR in April, she discussed the agency’s new technology task force and her role in breaking the glass ceiling for women enforcers in Korea.
