There is something about Mary

The Dong-A points out Korea Exchange Bank has a much better rate of promoting women than others, with them making up over 40% of management versus, say, 15% for competitor Kookmin Bank. The article I think is missing something. There is something peculiar about KEB over the past few years that may account for the difference. Can anybody remind me? Better yet, anybody want to speculate on why the Dong-A decided to studiously avoid the fact?

    Umm, Lone Star is the majority owner. Gee, why would they avoid pointing that out?

    Lone Star, the company that takes its profits out of Korea in an embarassingly clever manner?

    I’m guessing that the Dong-A did not want to be suddenly raided by the government, thus their reticence.
