Korean Re is a global reinsurer that provides clients with high-quality reinsurance services and risk management solutions as their reliable business partner.

Protecting client assets is our paramount goal. Risks are intensifying and becoming more diverse and complex, particularly amid the growing intensity and frequency of natural disasters. It is no surprise that the value of risk management through reinsurance is increasing more than ever in this highly complicated world.

Drawing on our over 60 years of expertise and experience in the reinsurance business, we make every possible effort to ensure our client assets are best protected.

Equally important, we are steadfastly dedicated to promoting social values and making our community stronger and more resilient, which we believe is an integral aspect of insurance. You have our unwavering commitment that we will remain a solid supporter of our community development.

It was founded in 1963 as a state-owned company, the Korean Non-life Reinsurance Corporation. In 1978, the company was reorganized as a publicly owned company, Korean Reinsurance Company (KRIC). Since then, Korean Re has successfully executed a global expansion strategy. Over the decades, it has established overseas branches and subsidiaries in major global financial hubs—including London, Singapore, Dubai, Zurich, and the United States—significantly diversifying its portfolio and enhancing its global underwriting capacity.

The Board of Directors at Korean Re is committed to transparent corporate governance and sustainable growth. Comprising experienced professionals from the insurance and financial sectors, the board oversees strategic decision-making, risk management, and long-term objective alignment. Led by CEO Jong-Gyu Won, the board integrates the deep operational expertise of executive directors with the objective oversight of independent non-executive directors to ensure sound underwriting principles and maximize shareholder value.
