History

SK Holdings was established when

activist shareholders. In 2007, SK Corporation was split into two entities, with SK Energy inheriting the core business and SK Holdings serving as a holding firm with stakes in various affiliates of the SK Group conglomerate.[2]

Despite the reorganization, consistent concerns had been raised over the unstable structure of corporate governance. Although SK Holdings was a holding company, SK's information technology service provider SK C&C controlled the group through its 31.8 percent stake in SK Holdings. Accordingly, SK merged SK Holdings and SK C&C to streamline its management structure in 2015. The merger between two companies enabled group chairman Chey Tae-won and his related parties to hold more than a 30% stake in the new SK Holdings. It solidified their ownership compared to the pre-merger when Chey's stake in ex-SK Holdings was only 0.02 percent.[3][4]

In 2021, SK Holdings changed its name to SK Inc.[5]
