韩联社首尔8月14日电 韩国IT巨头Kakao14日发布的上半年财报显示，因涉嫌操纵股价被捕的集团创始人、集团内部协调配合机制——企业联盟（CA，Corporate Alignment）共同议长金范洙上半年共获得薪酬约7.5亿韩元（约合人民币395万元）。
具体来看，金范洙今年1至6月领取7.51亿韩元薪酬，包括工资2.5亿韩元，奖金5亿韩元，其他报酬100万韩元。尽管因涉嫌操纵股价被捕，金范洙的薪酬仍然相当可观，引发公众对于公司高层薪酬制度的广泛讨论。
Kakao集团内共有5人上半年薪酬超过5亿韩元。前Kakao代表、现顾问洪银泽薪酬以22.67亿韩元居首，包括工资5.38亿韩元、奖金10亿韩元、其他报酬1100万韩元，以及退休金7.18亿韩元等。
此消息公布后，韩国社会各界对于高管薪酬的合理性和透明度提出质疑。有观点认为，即使高管因涉嫌违法行为被捕，其薪酬仍然应该受到公众监督和审查。同时，这也引发了对于企业内部薪酬结构和激励机制的深入讨论，以及对于如何平衡公司发展和公平正义的思考。
韩国监管机构表示，他们将继续关注Kakao的薪酬政策和金范洙案件的进展，以确保市场公平和投资者权益不受损害。同时，这也提醒了其他上市公司，在制定薪酬政策时，应充分考虑企业社会责任和公众利益，以避免类似的争议和负面影响。

News Content:
SEOUL, Aug. 14 (Yonhap) — Kakao, South Korea’s leading IT giant, reported in its first-half earnings released on Thursday that Kim Byung-ju, the founder of the group and co-chairman of its corporate alignment mechanism, the Corporate Alignment (CA), received a total compensation of about 751 million won (approximately 3.95 million yuan) during the first half of this year.
Kim Byung-ju, who was arrested on charges of manipulating stock prices, took home 751 million won in pay from January to June, consisting of a salary of 250 million won, bonuses of 500 million won, and other remunerations of 100,000 won. Despite his arrest for alleged stock price manipulation, Kim’s compensation has sparked widespread public discussion about the company’s top executives’ remuneration system.
Five individuals within the Kakao group received more than 500 million won in pay during the first half of this year. Former Kakao CEO and current advisor Hong Wan-jae topped the list with a pay of 22.67 billion won, including a salary of 538 million won, bonuses of 1 billion won, other remunerations of 110 million won, and retirement benefits of 7.18 billion won.
The revelation of such high executive pay has prompted public scrutiny and debate about the fairness and transparency of executive compensation. Some argue that even if executives are arrested for suspected illegal activities, their compensation should still be subject to public scrutiny and oversight. It has also led to deeper discussions about the internal compensation structure and incentive mechanisms, and considerations on how to balance corporate growth with justice and fairness.
South Korean regulatory agencies have indicated that they will continue to monitor Kakao’s compensation policies and the progress of the Kim Byung-ju case to ensure fair market practices and protect investors’ rights. This also serves as a reminder to other publicly traded companies to consider corporate social responsibility and public interests when crafting their compensation policies, in order to avoid similar controversies and negative impacts.
