Sean Chung joined Golub Capital as a managing director and will be based in the firm’s Seoul office, further expanding the firm’s Korea-focused team.

The Korea-focused team will now include:

• Chung, who previously held positions as managing partner at OSR Holdings and head of the global alternative investment team at Shinhan Investment.
• Anthony Yum, managing director in the business development group based in New York, who will continue to focus on managing existing and new client relationships in Korea for the firm. Prior to Golub Capital, Yum was a managing director at Shinhan Investment America.
• BoMee Chu, managing director and co-head of the product specialist team, based in New York. Prior to Golub Capital, Chu worked at Antares Capital and J.P. Morgan.

“Over the past seven years, we have built strategic relationships with Korean institutional investors, as LPs continue to diversify their portfolios with resilient private credit strategies,” David Golub, president of Golub Capital, said. “We are excited about how our exceptionally talented Korea-focused team, now including Sean, will enable us to further expand and deepen our relationships with Korean investors.”

“I am delighted to be joining a market leader like Golub Capital,” Chung said. “Having partnered with the firm over the years, becoming part of this growing team was a natural next step.”

This latest news builds on the firm’s commitment to the Korean market and its recently expanded strategic partnership with the Korea Investment Corporation.

“We welcome Golub Capital’s expansion in Korea. Golub Capital’s growing business and presence in Korea will contribute to the more dynamic growth of the Korean finance industry and its institutional investors,” Seoungho Jin, CEO of Korea Investment Corporation, said. “With its continued commitment to the Korean market, we are pleased to further strengthen our established partnership going forward.”
