LINE Games has hired former Neptune CEO Tae-woong Yoo as their new Vice President. He will lead the company's management overhaul and operational strategy. The move aims to secure sustainable growth within the fierce global gaming market.

LINE Games announced on the 7th that it has appointed Tae-woong Yoo, former CEO of Neptune and Nimble Neuron, as its new Head of Management (Vice President). This appointment is part of a strategy to strengthen business competitiveness alongside the launch of the company's new co-CEO management system.
Tae-woong Yoo graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Business Administration and worked at Hangame and Naver before joining Neptune as a founding member in 2012. He is credited with successfully managing Neptune's overall business and operations, leading the company's early growth and its eventual KOSDAQ listing. He later served as a co-CEO of Neptune.

In particular, he drove the operational refinement and service expansion of Nimble Neuron's self-developed title, Eternal Return, securing the practical momentum for Neptune to achieve record-breaking performance.

Through this, the company aims to build a robust system capable of establishing a foundation for sustainable growth in a fiercely competitive global environment.
"I am grateful to take on the pivotal role of Head of Management at LINE Games as it prepares for a new leap forward," said Vice President Tae-woong Yoo. "I will devote my efforts to strengthening internal foundations so that the company can establish a more solid system and maximize its achievements in the global market."

라인게임즈는 유태웅 전 넵튠 및 님블뉴런 대표를 신임 경영본부장(부사장)으로 영입했다고 7일 밝혔다. 이번 인사는 라인게임즈의 새로운 공동대표 체제 출범과 함께 추진하는 사업 경쟁력 강화 전략의 일환으로 진행됐다.
유태웅 신임 부사장은 서울대학교 경영학과를 졸업한 뒤 한게임과 네이버를 거쳐 2012년 게임사 넵튠 창업 멤버로 합류했다. 그는 넵튠의 사업 및 경영 전반을 관리하며 초기 기업의 성장과 코스닥 상장을 성공적으로 이끌었다는 평가를 받았다. 이후 그는 넵튠 각자대표를 역임했다.
유 부사장은 카카오 계열사로 편입된 넵튠의 경영체제 안정화를 주도했으며, 2024년에는 님블뉴런 공동대표로서 회사를 흑자 전환시키는 데 기여했다. 특히 님블뉴런 자체 개발작인 이터널 리턴(Eternal Return) 운영 내실화 및 서비스 확장을 견인하며 넵튠이 최대 실적을 달성하는 데 실질적인 동력을 확보했다.
라인게임즈는 기업 설립 초기 단계부터 상장 이후까지 폭넓은 경영 경험을 보유한 유태웅 부사장의 실무 역량과 노하우를 활용해 내부 경영 관리 체계를 더욱 고도화할 방침이다. 이를 통해 회사는 치열한 글로벌 환경에서 지속 가능한 성장 기반을 다질 수 있는 견고한 시스템을 구축할 계획이다.
유태웅 신임 부사장은 “새로운 도약을 준비하는 라인게임즈에서 경영본부장이라는 중책을 맡아 감사하다”며 “회사가 더욱 탄탄한 시스템을 갖추고 글로벌 시장에서 성과를 극대화하도록 내실 강화에 전력을 기울이겠다”고 포부를 밝혔다.
