LG Group to Move 2026 Executive Reshuffle to Mid-November
LG affiliates began business reports on October 19, 2026, and the personnel changes will be finalized afterward, with AI expansion as the core theme.
LG Group began business reports for all its affiliates on October 19, 2026, according to etnews.com, and plans to carry out its executive reshuffle in November 2026. The group is expected to hold the reshuffle around mid-November, about a week earlier than usual, with the personnel changes finalized after the business reports are completed.
AI expansion will be the core theme of the personnel changes. LG is pursuing AI data centers, physical AI and AI transformation (AX), and is accelerating cooperation with global big tech companies including Nvidia and Microsoft. The scale of the reshuffle is expected to be limited.
Jeong Cheol-dong, president of LG Display, is seen as a candidate for promotion to vice chairman. Kwon Bong-seok is currently LG Group's only vice chairman.
Chairman's push on AI speed
Last month, chairman Koo Kwang-mo told a presidents' meeting that the leadership must have speed and persistent execution to win in AI.
In November 2025, LG Group announced its 2026 executive appointments on November 27. Last year the group replaced the CEOs of major affiliates including LG Electronics, LG Chem and LG H&H. When Shin Hak-cheol stepped down last year, Kwon Bong-seok became LG Group's only vice chairman.
