According to reports, on March 30, 2018, relevant personnel from South Korea’s Blue House met with the media and expressed the concern of South Korean President Wen Yujun regarding the acquisition of Kumho Tire by Double Star.

They said that Kumho Tire’s acquisition will try to eliminate political factors and view the issue from a purely economic perspective.

The South Korean government hopes that all parties, including trade unions, can share the pain, start from the overall situation, introduce Chinese capital, and realize the normalization of Kumho tires as soon as possible.

On the afternoon of March 30, 2018, Wen Chengxian, Chairman of the Korea Economic and Social Development Labor and Capital Management Committee, Li Dongjie, President of the Korea Credit Bank, Korea Industrial Bank, Zhao Sanxiu, Deputy Chairman of the National Metal Trade Union Kumho Tire Branch, and Kumho Tire Representative Director Jin Zongxi and others conducted more than four hours of consultation and reached an agreement to introduce Double Star Capital. On the same day, Kumho tire shares rose by nearly 29%.

On April 1, 2018, about 92% of the members of the trade union voted on the normalization of management and labor agreements, overseas sales, and self-rescue programs. They eventually passed the majority of the votes.

In view of the result of the vote agreeing to sell, the creditor company will sign a final sale agreement with Double Star and Kumho Tire will be back on track.

It is understood that since March 2, 2018 when Double Star and Korea Development Bank agreed to purchase Kumho Tires, many South Korean government officials expressed their opinions and supported Double Star as the majority shareholder of Kumho Tire.

In the meantime, the 1,500 management, technology, and marketing personnel of Kumho Tire also conveyed to the labor union an instruction manual in favor of the introduction of Double Star Capital. However, due to emotional factors and concerns about employment protection after the double-star merger, the union has not made a decision and has even gone on strike.
