    The Korea Life Insurance Association
    The Korea Life Insurance Association (KLIA) was established in February 1950. Since then it has endeavored to advance the mutual interests of life insurance companies and maintain healthy business environment among member companies, while promoting sound life insurance practices. The association is a nonprofit organization established under the Insurance Business Act and the Civil Code of the Republic of Korea.

    For the sake of the continued growth and global competitiveness of the insurance industry, the KLIA recommends public policies to the government authorities based on the industry-wide inputs and results of researches or mid- and long-term projects conducted on the current issues faced by the life insurance industry. Another responsibility of the KLIA is to protect insurance consumers by providing them with information of which insurance policies they already own, and offering counseling and consultation services.

    The KLIA administers life insurance solicitor qualification exams and registers insurance solicitor licenses as authorized by the Financial Services Commission (FSC), while working to thwart inappropriate sales practices under an industry-wide voluntary agreement for sound solicitation practices and market discipline. In addition, KLIA oversees various life insurance-related projects. Such projects include running public welfare programs, preventing insurance fraud, reviewing life insurance product advertisements, collecting life insurance statistics, and publishing assorted books and data. Managing public relations, hosting academic seminars, disclosing life insurance information, exchanging information with international counterparts and participating in international conferences are also among its roles.
