Disney is appointing Carol Choi as president of The Walt Disney Company’s Asia-Pacific, effective Dec. 1, following Luke Kang’s retirement. Kang steps down after 16 years with the company.
All outlets describe Choi as a longtime Disney executive and currently serving as executive vice president of Disney’s Asia-Pacific business. In her new role, she oversees Disney Entertainment operations across the region. Coverage highlights that the remit includes areas such as studios, Disney+ and other parts of Disney’s entertainment portfolio, with at least two outlets also referencing original content and consumer products.
While the core announcement is consistent across sources, the articles differ mainly in how broadly they enumerate Choi’s responsibilities. Variety and Deadline outline the regional entertainment-operating scope, while The Hollywood Reporter adds a more detailed list spanning studios, streaming, original content, and consumer products. The date and personnel change are uniformly reported.
