The current situation of Seong-taek Jeong, who ranked first in the nation on the College Scholastic Ability Test in 1995 and then entered Seoul National University‘s College of Engineering, is becoming a hot topic.
On the 19th, posts containing information about Mr. Jeong’s recent status were posted on multiple online communities.
Mr. Jeong, born in 1976, received 194 out of 200 points in the 1995 CSAT and ranked first in the nation. He received the honor of passing with 915.95 points out of 1,000 points in the main exam at Seoul National University.
Mr. Jeong, who was attending a science high school at the time, said in an interview with the media, “I heard on TV that I passed the top honors,” and “I want to study hard in the electrical and electronic control engineering department at Seoul National University and contribute to society in the practical field rather than theory, and I hope to make my country shine globally.” “I want to do something big,” he said.
After graduating from Seoul National University in seven semesters, Mr. Jeong moved to the United States and completed his master’s and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering at Stanford. To this day, Mr. Jeong is the only student to have earned top honors in the CSAT, top honors in Seoul National University’s main exam, and graduation from Seoul National University.
Mr. Jeong returned to Korea in 2011 and gained a variety of experiences, and in 2022, he became a Samsung Man when he was hired as the head of the New Business Task Force (TF) as Samsung Electronics sought mergers and acquisitions to grow new businesses within the group. And at the end of 2023, he joined the ‘Future Business Planning Group’, which is called Chairman Lee Jae-yong’s separate unit, as vice president.
The Future Business Planning Department is a key department that discovers future business opportunities for Samsung Electronics in the next 10 years. Vice President Jeong Seong-taek, who has extensive experience in startups and the global market, will be responsible for discovering businesses that are not an extension of existing businesses.
In particular, as he is a brilliant student who has been selected as the top student in the nation and the top student at Seoul National University, expectations are high on what kind of innovation he will show.
