Episode Description:
Korea Post is pulling back from household lending just as private insurers post record profit.
Korea Post's loan balance tied to its overdraft-style "matong" product fell to roughly half its previous level, moving against the trend at commercial banks still expanding household credit. Samsung Life and Samsung Fire posted a combined first-half net profit of 3.9677 trillion won (about USD 2.79 billion at 1,419.40 KRW/USD), up 34% year-on-year. Bank holding companies also disclosed internal whistleblower activity tied to governance reforms, while regulators introduced a new 30-day disclosure rule for crypto exchange ownership changes.
