In honor of the late Shin Yong-ho, the founder of Kyobo Life, the company announced it is holding a commemorative concert and a memorial photo exhibition this month to celebrate 100 years since its founder’s birth.
Regarded as one of the most respected Korean entrepreneurs of the 20th century, Shin’s dedication to learning and national education made him a pioneer in the country’s insurance and publication industry, the company said.
