ULSAN, South Korea -- Shipbuilding executive Yoo Byeong-yong is refitting his business to stay afloat in the choppy waters of the world's pandemic-pummelled economy.
Like many corporate leaders of mainstay industries in South Korea, Yoo's company -- the country's biggest shipbuilder -- is looking to go green and innovate in a bid to revitalize an economy that has slowed since rapid growth from the 1960s to 1990s. The two main candidates for the March 9 presidential election are both seeking such an economic transition.
