Chey has attended the meeting every year since 1998, except for last year, when bribery allegations related to power abuse scandal that brought down then president Park Geun-hye ruled Chey out of overseas trip.
Chey will be accompanied by SK Telecom CEO Park Jung-ho and SK E&S CEO Yoo Jeong-joon to meet with global political and business figures, according to sources on Sunday.
Kim Dong-kwan, the eldest son of Hanwha Group chairman Kim Seung-yeon and executive director of Hanwha Q Cell will also be participating in the meeting. His attendance, the ninth year in a row will focus on the group’s solar energy business and future plans, according to sources.

Also in attendance will be Hwang Chang-gyu, chairman of Korea’s mobile carrier KT, and Kim Young-hoon, Daesung Group chairman. Maekyung Media Group CEO Chang Dae-whan who attends the meeting every year will also be present. Last year, Chang agreed to produce a policy recommendation report for South Korea with Germany’s consultancy Roland Berger at the meeting and the report was made public at the end of March.
