LX Pantos bolsters US expansion with new regional chief
With nearly 30 years of experience in the global logistics industry, Bang has held key leadership roles at major companies, including DHL and Hellmann.
Notably, Bang served for 14 years as CEO of LifeCoNex, a cold chain logistics joint venture between DHL and Lufthansa Cargo, where he helped position DHL's temperature-controlled logistics as an industry leader.
Most recently, Bang served as chief commercial officer at US-based logistics firm JAS Worldwide, overseeing sales and marketing strategies across more than 50 countries.
Bang will lead business development and expansion efforts across the US, Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Chile, Colombia and Argentina, while acquiring new clients and securing market share.
The move comes as LX Pantos accelerates its expansion in the US. In February, the company formed a US-based joint venture, Boxlinks, with Japanese shipping giant Ocean Network Express to enter the US intermodal logistics market.
The company also acquired a massive logistics center in Georgia, roughly the size of 43 football fields, in March to bolster its infrastructure.
'The Americas region is central to our global growth strategy,' said LX Pantos CEO Lee Yong-ho. 'We believe Bang's global expertise and leadership will be a driving force in advancing LX Pantos toward becoming a top-tier global logistics company.'

[Editorial] Take down hurdles
Korean platforms shut out global fans with outdated rules while Korean culture surges The global success of 'KPop Demon Hunters,' an animated film released on Netflix in June, has provided an unexpected boost to Korea's soft power. The film, in which a fictional K-pop girl group battles demons with music-infused powers, has topped streaming charts in over 30 countries and propelled its soundtrack to second place on the Billboard 200. But perhaps more telling than the film's entertainment value is what it revealed about Korea's export potential and its limitations. While fans from Singapore to the Netherlands eagerly bought Korean goods tied to the movie's characters — from folk-art-inspired souvenirs to traditional accessories — the process of buying those products was anything but smooth. Korean cultural products may now command a powerful emotional pull globally, but the infrastructure for overseas consumers to access Korean products, especially through e-commerce, remains strikingly inadequate. According to the Bank of Korea, South Korea's cross-border e-commerce exports to individual consumers overseas — often referred to in Korea as 'reverse direct purchases' or 'yeok-jikgu' in Korean — totaled 1.6 trillion won ($1.1 billion) last year. It was just one-fifth the volume of inbound direct purchases by Korean consumers from overseas retailers. The data shows that Korea's e-commerce platforms have failed to capitalize on foreign demand despite the surging popularity of Korean entertainment, beauty and food. Much of the problem lies in unnecessary procedural bottlenecks. Most domestic platforms still require identity verification through a Korea-registered mobile number, even though no legal obligation mandates this. International consumers, even if motivated to purchase, are routinely blocked during the sign-up process. Those who clear that hurdle often encounter another at checkout, where many Korean sites do not accept international payment methods like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or Alipay. The result is a highly restrictive system that effectively turns away willing customers. By contrast, major platforms like Amazon, AliExpress and Temu allow foreign users to register and pay with minimal friction. These companies conduct their own verification using standard card information or global e-wallets, lowering entry barriers while managing fraud risks internally. Chinese e-commerce platforms operating in South Korea have even integrated domestic systems such as Naver Pay to localize their offerings. Yet Korean platforms have been reluctant to reciprocate even as global demand for Korean goods rises. This hesitation reflects both rigid regulatory constraints and an outdated culture of risk aversion, especially around identity theft, fraud and payment disputes. But technological solutions already exist. Viable steps Korean retailers can take include integrating payment systems that are popular in target markets, adopting user-friendly authentication procedures and expanding their overseas fulfillment capabilities. The Korean government and regulators have a critical role to play. The Bank of Korea's recent recommendation — to simplify account verification, provide legal clarity around non-Korean sign-ups and actively embrace global payment tools — is a necessary starting point. More broadly, failure to liberalize South Korea's e-commerce model may deepen the structural imbalance in digital trade. As global commerce increasingly revolves around platforms rather than physical intermediaries, the country cannot afford to remain digitally insular. Ironically, the very appeal of "KPop Demon Hunters" — its seamless fusion of traditional Korean motifs with contemporary music and lively animation — highlights what the country does best: Marrying heritage and innovation in ways that resonate globally. But turning cultural capital into economic return will require an equally imaginative overhaul of Korea's digital marketplace. Nearly a decade after the so-called 'Cheon Song-yi coat' moment, when a Korean drama ignited global fashion interest and prompted calls for easier reverse purchases, progress has been woefully limited. The nation's major platforms still operate largely as if their only customers are local. That must change. With global attention now fixed on Korean products, the least the country can do is avoid shutting the door on K-culture's global rise.

Hanwha Aerospace posts record Q2 earnings on defense, shipbuilding boom
Korea's leading defense contractor Hanwha Aerospace on Thursday reported a record-high second-quarter revenue of 6.27 trillion won ($4.5 billion), marking a 169 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Operating profit also surged 156 percent on-year to 864.4 billion won. 'The second quarter saw strong growth, driven by robust performance in the land defense sector and stable results from Hanwha Ocean,' a company official said. 'In the second half, we plan to expand our order book, with a focus on the Middle East and Europe while also advancing future growth engines following the successful fourth launch of the Nuri rocket.' The land defense division posted 1.77 trillion won in revenue and 554.3 billion won in operating profit, up 43 percent and 113 percent on-year, respectively. The company attributed the sharp profit increase to a combination of customer-requested delays in recognizing certain development and sales costs until the second half, and faster-than-expected production and delivery of Chunmoo, the self-propelled multiple rocket launch system, to Poland. With 51 units delivered in the first half alone, Hanwha Aerospace raised its full-year delivery guidance from 50 to 80 units. Its shipbuilding subsidiary Hanwha Ocean also contributed significantly, reporting 3.29 trillion won in revenue and 371.7 billion won in profit, led by strong demand for high-value liquefied natural gas carriers. Separately, the company is exploring an initial entry into the US ammunition market, potentially using part of the 4.2 trillion won it secured through a recent rights offering. However, it remains unclear whether this would be included in the Korean government's $350 billion investment pledge to the US, announced as part of a tariff agreement on the same day, the company said. Hanwha Aerospace added that it expects to be less impacted by the US tariff policy than other sectors like automobiles or steel, as much of the defense value chain is linked to countries such as the United Kingdom rather than directly to the US.

Lee calls for building next-generation power grid with focus on renewable energy
President Lee Jae Myung on Thursday called for establishing a next-generation power grid as he underscored the importance of shifting the country's power supply infrastructure to one that centers on renewable energy. "Energy transition has become an essential task," Lee said as he presided over a meeting of senior presidential aides. "On top of an artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, the supply of renewable energy through power grid improvement has become very urgent." Lee instructed the government to draw up measures to establish a next-generation power grid that lowers the inefficiency of long-distance power transmissions and makes use of cutting-edge AI technology. The presidential office said the government will turn South Jeolla Province into a hub for such a plan, noting the region's potential for supplying renewable energy. Kim Yong-beom, the presidential chief of staff for policy, said in a press briefing that the government plans to establish industrial complexes for renewable energy micro grids by using steel and petrochemical industrial complexes in the region. The government will allocate about 200 billion won (US$143 million) next year for a pilot project to establish a next-generation power grid by building microgrids in the region's university, airport and military units, and connecting them, according to Kim. The presidential official said Lee aims to nurture the country's energy industry into one akin to the chip industry, and eventually seek to export electricity technology and products. (Yonhap)
