Korean corporate job designations

Hey, anyone watches K-drama here?

I've always been curious about the English equivalent of those corporate job designations that we see in some of the dramas.

There are so many levels and I've only managed to figure out the top 2:

1. Hui4 Zhang3 - President
2. She4 Zhang3 - CEO
3. Li3 Shi4 - Director?
4. Li3 Shi4 Zhang3 - Chairman of the Board?
5. Dong3 Shi4 - ?
6. Dong3 Shi4 Zhang3 - ?
7. Shi4 Zhang3 - ?
8. Bu4 Zhang3 - ?
9. Ke4 Zhang3 - ?
10. Zu2 Zhang3 - ?
11. Zhuan1 Wu4 - ?

Anyone knows? Any Korean here who can help? Very Happy

This is a golf forum. Why are we discussing about coporate issues which is not related to golf? How come all the moderators did not take actions and allows irelevant subjects to be posted?

Hi TLHENG, the lounge can be used for non-golf related topics... =)

and the question is basically the english equivalent of the job designations as seen/heard in the korean drama series.
