Different authorities have slightly different guidelines about what to capitalize in a title. The first rule is to be consistent. Otherwise, here are my suggestions about your list.

1. Beautiful Legacy
I would say: A Beautiful Legacy
2. ‘Who’ is Daihyun?
If you are talking about the staff, this is fine. (I am assuming a British usage on quotation marks. American usage would have double quotation marks here). If you are talking about the company as a whole, it might be better be to say: What is Daihyun?
3. Redefining the Rules of Competition
Okay.
4. No Obstacle Ever too High
I would capitalize "Too"
5. Creating the Competitive Advantage – Green Agenda
I would say "A Green Agenda" or "Our Green Agenda"
6. The Completion of Daihyun Group
Okay.
7. Water, Energy, Environment and Pump
This I do not understand. "Pump" does not seem to fit. Do you mean "and Our Pump"?

As for
Actually I'd like to know which one looks better between "The Completion of Daihyun Group" and "Building up Daihyun Group" for Title 6.
These are different events. So one is not better than the other. So which event are you talking about? Are you talking about a future event (the coming completion of the group) or a past event (the recent completion of the group) or an on-going event (the building of the group)? Also, I would capitalize "Up" in this case.

Hope this helps.
