[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Sangjin] The owner of Mirae Asset Securities' Yeouido office in Seoul will be changed to Woori Financial Group, which announced its re-entry into the securities industry.

According to the securities industry on the 13th, Mirae Asset Securities selected Woori Asset Management as the preferred bidder after selecting an advisor for the sale of its Yeouido office building and conducting related consultations and procedures. Details such as the final sale price and the date of payment of the balance will be confirmed through further discussion.

The building, which had been used as the former Daewoo Securities office since its completion in 1984, was incorporated into Mirae Asset Securities' assets, which merged with Daewoo Securities in 2016.

Under Woori Financial Group, Woori Investment & Securities, which will be launched in the future, is expected to use it.

Woori Financial Group held a board meeting on the 3rd of last month to push for the merger of its subsidiary Woori General Finance Co. and Korea POS Securities Co. and decided to incorporate the merged corporation as a subsidiary.

Through this, Woori Investment & Securities will re-enter the securities industry about 10 years after selling it to Nonghyup Financial Group.
