[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] With Eugene Group selected as the winning bidder for the news channel YTN, KEPCO KDN, the existing largest shareholder, will hold a board meeting this week to confirm the stake sale.

Eugene Corporation is expected to sign a stake sale contract with KEPCO KDN· Korea Racing Authority as early as next week.

According to the broadcasting industry on the 7th, KEPCO KDN will hold a board meeting as early as the 8th and vote to sell its 21.43% stake in YTN. The Korea Racing Authority, which sells its 9.52% stake with KEPCO KDN, plans to stamp the contract without additional procedures as it has already completed board approval before bidding last month.
