National Pension Recipients Top 8 Million, Most Under 600,000 Won
South Korea's national pension recipients surpassed 8 million this year, with 8,062,142 people receiving benefits between January and July, according to the National Pension Service's published statistics. However, two out of three recipients receive less than 600,000 won per month, raising concerns that the pension is insufficient as a retirement safety net, as reported by Dong-A Ilbo and Yonhap. The number of recipients has doubled since surpassing 4 million in 2015, 11 years ago.
