[Alpha Biz= Paul Lee] Financial Supervisory Service Governor Lee Chan-jin said on Wednesday that he has sold all overseas stocks he previously owned.
Speaking during a policy briefing before the National Assembly Political Affairs Committee, Lee said of his U.S. stock holdings, “I have sold all of them,” adding that his spouse also no longer holds any U.S. equities. He noted, however, that his son still owns some shares.
According to periodic asset disclosure filings released by the Government Public Officials Ethics Committee, Lee had invested approximately KRW 1.0592 billion in domestic and overseas stocks. After taking office on August 14 last year, he sold all of his domestic stock holdings and confirmed at the hearing that he has now also divested his U.S. equities.
In previous asset disclosures, Lee reported holdings in U.S. stocks including Lockheed Martin (20 shares), Recursion Pharmaceuticals (7,150 shares), SoFi Technologies (110 shares), Apple (100 shares), Tesla (66 shares), On Holding (140 shares), and Walt Disney (25 shares).
