Korean Re provides an Asia-headquartered specialist reinsurer with both life and non-life books and a global branch network, adding geographic and accounting diversity to the reinsurance set.

Why This Source Map Is Distinct
Korean Re's official English FY2025 annual report and fact book provide direct, stable PDF evidence; its management page and the FSS DART company record preserve standalone-versus-consolidated and listed-entity context. Together, the cards establish a route from identity and business scope to periodic reporting and capital, regulatory, ratings, exchange, or profile context. They do not merge those source types into one universal measure.
Reading The Source Categories
1. 2025 Korean Re Annual Report / annual report
Owner: Korean Reinsurance Company. Category: 2025 Korean Re Annual Report / annual report. Reporting period: FY2025, year ended 2025-12-31; published 2026-04-27. Entity scope: Korean Re consolidated reporting under K-IFRS. Evidence: FY2025 consolidated insurance revenue (gross) was KRW 4,975.8 billion, insurance service result (net) KRW 226.5 billion, and net income KRW 322.0 billion; total assets at 2025-12-31 were KRW 14,259.8 billion, the K-ICS ratio was 197.8%, and the combined ratio was 91.2%. Caution: Official English PDF reviewed from report-index item 85, article 1925/file 673; financial highlights and notes appear on printed pages 2, 28, and 103. Values are consolidated and in KRW billions. The combined-ratio denominator is net insurance service expenses over net insurance revenue, and the 2024 comparator was restated to exclude other insurance expenses.
2. 2025 English Fact Book / operating fact book
Owner: Korean Reinsurance Company. Category: 2025 English Fact Book / operating fact book. Reporting period: FY2025, year ended 2025-12-31; published 2026-04-27. Entity scope: Korean Re consolidated financial and operating highlights. Evidence: The FY2025 fact book reports gross written premium of KRW 8,220.8 billion and net income of KRW 322.0 billion, alongside insurance revenue of KRW 4,975.8 billion and a combined ratio of 91.2%. Caution: Official English PDF reviewed from report-index item 84, article 1924/file 674; financial highlights appear on printed pages 2-3. Retain KRW-billion units and the fact book's gross-versus-net and combined-ratio definitions; repeated annual-report values are corroboration, not additional independent metrics.
3. Management Information / financial disclosure
Owner: Korean Reinsurance Company. Category: Management Information / financial disclosure. Reporting period: Current company summary reviewed 2026-07-15. Entity scope: Korean Re standalone company summary unless the page labels a consolidated measure. Evidence: The management page provides a separately scoped company-level financial summary and management information for reconciliation with the audited group report. Caution: Official English management-information page reviewed. Do not substitute standalone summary values for consolidated FY2025 figures or infer identical perimeters.
4. Korean Re DART Company Record / regulatory filing
Owner: Financial Supervisory Service Korea. Category: Korean Re DART Company Record / regulatory filing. Reporting period: Current company record reviewed 2026-07-15. Entity scope: Korean Reinsurance Company listed-entity identity. Evidence: The FSS company record identifies Korean Reinsurance Company as KOSPI-listed code 003690, in the reinsurance industry, with a December fiscal year-end. Caution: HTTP 200 exact FSS company-record path reviewed. This identity record is not itself the FY2025 annual filing and does not supply consolidated financial values.
Reporting Periods And Company-Specific Facts
The source cards above contain the pack's principal numerical evidence from 2025 Korean Re Annual Report / annual report, 2025 English Fact Book / operating fact book, Korean Re DART Company Record / regulatory filing. Each fact remains inside its complete reporting-period and entity-scope record rather than being detached into a current-value table. Units, currencies, denominators, statutory or non-statutory labels, and issuer-defined terminology must remain exactly as the applicable card records them.
Period discipline matters here. A current profile page, an annual report, a regulatory return, a ratings page, and an exchange record can all be valid while answering different questions. The source date and reviewed date do not replace the underlying reporting period, and group totals cannot be moved to a subsidiary or business line without explicit support.
Entity Boundary
Use Korean Reinsurance Company for the listed Korean parent and consolidated reporting only where stated. Overseas branches, subsidiaries, and separately regulated operations retain their own legal, geographic, and capital scopes. Preserve KRW-billion units, K-IFRS labels, parent versus consolidated scope, combined-ratio definitions, comparator restatements, and branch or subsidiary identity. The guide therefore keeps the parent, consolidated group, operating insurers, brands, branches, joint ventures, and non-insurance businesses separate whenever the dossier identifies those distinctions.
What The Pack Can And Cannot Establish
The pack can establish source ownership, source category, accepted URL, reporting period, reviewed date, and the entity or segment scope stated on each card. It can also support the company-specific facts recorded in the dossier when their labels, units, currencies, denominators, and periods are preserved.
It cannot establish current security value, relative ranking, product suitability, available underwriting capacity, present pricing, placement terms, private treaty terms, or a standalone conclusion about solvency. Issuer-defined measures remain tied to the issuer's methodology and are not automatically comparable with similarly named measures from another insurer.
