 Hyundai in shake-up, selling assets as chairman quits - May 31, 2000
The shake-up of Hyundai's businesses and upper ranks, which would see the group sell its Hyundai Elevator division, came after creditors slammed what they saw as the group's piecemeal efforts to address its liquidity crisis with a plan announced earlier this week to raise a smaller 543 billion won in asset sales.
Hyundai's new recovery plan would involve the sale of 2.7 trillion won in securities, 700 billion won in real estate and 300 billion won "through other methods," the company said in a statement.
Hyundai, which had previously announced plans to shed more than a dozen subsidiaries through spin-offs and sales, including a proposal to split off its auto-related units, also said it would trim its planned level of investment this year to 4.3 trillion won from 6.5 trillion won.

 S. Korea: Hyundai Asan Chairman Commits Suicide (update)
Chung Mong-hun, the Hyundai Asan chairman who was implicated in the secret transfer of money to North Korean before the June 2000 inter-Korean summit, killed himself early Monday morning by jumping out of his company office on the 12th floor of Hyundai group's head office building in Gye-dong, downtown Seoul, police and company officials said.
Hyundai Merchant Marine, the core unit under Mong-hun's ownership, posted W142.2 billion in net profit last year, but observers said the net profit figures were misleading because the company sold off its automobile transportation division for W1.8 trillion at the end of last year.
Hyundai watchers said that the firm's president, Kim Yoon-kyu, would be handling the day-to-day management of Hyundai Asan in the absence of Mong-hun, but eventually the Chung family members, including Mong-koo, whose Hyundai Motor group is doing good business, would take up a leading role in maintaining the on-going North Korea projects.

 Hyundai crisis: its development and resolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The author believes that the Hyundai Group’s fall in 2000-2001 and the Daewoo Group’s bankruptcy previously in mid-1999 are crucial in understanding the political and economic meaning of the 1997 financial crisis.
The Hyundai Group basically acted as it had done during the development eras before 1997, presumably assuming that the social and political inertia built into the past government-business relationships were strong enough to resist the new market forces.
The paper concludes by suggesting that the Hyundai crisis was ultimately a test on whether the old business-government relationship could survive the new market environment generated with the 1997 financial crisis.
