[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] The National Pension Service has criticized the board, saying there is a problem with the independence of POSCO Holdings' board of directors.

It has been eight days since the regular board meeting of POSCO Holdings on the 21st. At that time, POSCO Holdings decided to put candidates for POSCO Group Chairman Jang In-hwa and candidates for internal and external directors on the agenda for the regular shareholders' meeting to be held on the 21st of next month.

All outside directors of POSCO Holdings are booked by police on charges of overseas business trips, including a "business trip to the Canadian luxury board of directors." Among them, the existing five will serve as outside directors in a row, except for those who are set to expire this year and two who have expressed their intention to voluntarily resign. Kim Tae-hyun, chairman of the National Pension Service, appears to have raised the issue as the board continued its term with little change in the absence of sufficient explanation or explanation.

Business circles are paying attention to how the National Pension Service's remarks will cause repercussions ahead of the shareholders' meeting on the 21st of next month.
