I am YOON Soo Hyun, President of the Korea Consumer Agency (KCA).
Thank you sincerely for visiting the Korea Consumer Agency’s website.

As a public institution dedicated to enhancing consumer rights, we have been committed to improving consumer life and contributing to the national economy.

Concurrently, we aim to come closer to the citizens by pursuing consumer rights policies that reflect the voices of the people.
