[Lee Jae-hoon's X-File Ep. 8] 'CFE Strategist' Koo Ja-eun, LS Group Chairman's Drive

LS Group, which has traditionally pursued stable growth under its 'cousin-managed' system, is now attempting to transform into a future energy company centered on 'CFE (Carbon-Free Electricity)' under Chairman Koo's tenure.

His strategy of expanding the portfolio into new businesses like battery materials, electric vehicle (EV) components, and semiconductor-related industries, rather than resting on the laurels of traditional sectors like cables and power equipment, is drawing attention from the business community.

However, he also faces the significant challenge of delivering tangible results amid increased financial burdens from successive M&A deals and fierce market competition.
