Chairman Choi Tae-won of SK Group was captured enjoying a casual dinner with group employees in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul, actively practicing his on-site communication management style. This occurred immediately after he returned home from a packed schedule of global business trips to the United States, Japan, and China, and at a busy time ahead of executive appointments, yet he met directly with young employees for candid conversations without formality.

According to social networking services (SNS) on the 22nd, Choi (Chairman) was photographed and filmed dining with SK Group employees the previous evening at "Dalmang-i Plaza BBQ Main Branch" in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul.

The restaurant visited by Choi (Chairman) is known as a hot spot among young people for its outdoor seating and retro atmosphere, referred to as "Hipjilro" (hip Euljiro). At this popular restaurant, which typically has long waiting lines even during daytime hours, Choi (Chairman) shed his authority and naturally mingled with employees while enjoying salt BBQ, Sancheong black pork sausage, and other dishes.

In the released video, Choi (Chairman) displayed a humble demeanor, leading conversations while sharing soju and draft beer. He then moved to another popular bar nearby, "Jeju Chimsi Sulsu Euljiro Branch," to continue the dinner. There too, citizens captured scenes of him raising his voice in conversation, appearing somewhat tipsy, personally practicing the "candid communication" he has consistently emphasized.

Without security or restrictions typical of a major conglomerate chairman, he warmly responded to photo requests from ordinary citizens he met on-site, adding to the sense of intimacy. Reactions indicate that Choi (Chairman)'s hands-on management style, which seeks to directly hear and communicate with young members even amidst busy domestic and international business issues, was once again highlighted through this Euljiro dinner.
