Naver s union is asking the National Pension Service (NPS), the largest shareholder of the IT giant, to fire Choi In-hyuk from his CEO positions at Naver Financial and the Happybean Foundation.
The request came in response to the company s refusal to dismiss Choi from any of his positions, after he offered to resign only as chief operating officer (COO). Choi is involved in a recent scandal where an employee working under him committed suicide after experiencing bullying at work.
