Align Partners’ Lee Chang-Hwan Joins SM Entertainment as a Board Member

By Douglas Kim

  • On 20 January, SM Entertainment announced that Lee Chang-Hwan, the CEO of Align Partners Capital will join the company as a board member. 
  • This will mark one of the first cases of an activist investor becoming a board member of a Korean company which already has a major shareholder.
  • We believe that Lee Chang-Hwan (CEO of APCM) joining SM Entertainment as a board member will have a positive impact on the company to meaningfully improve its corporate governance.
