| 2026-02-23 08:18 KST | Ahead of the open, NH Investment Securities issues a sector report arguing that the recent sharp rally in insurance stocks is not backed by any meaningful improvement in earnings forecasts or capital-return policies; it highlights that non‑dividend names such as Hanwha Life, which surged 10.5–29.9% on Feb 20, have seen gains that are “over-discounting” external themes relative to weak fundamentals and limited visibility on shareholder returns, implying downside risk from overvaluation and calling for a shift from “hope” to fundamentals.

| 2026-02-21 (KST) | Local coverage of a KRX notice reports that Hanwha Life common shares have been flagged for potential designation as an “investment warning” stock after their recent limit‑up surge, and that the shares will be treated as an “investment caution” issue for trading on Feb 23; the article urges investors to be wary of heightened volatility and speculative trading risk around the name.

| 2026-01-28 08:00 KST | Dealsite highlights that Hanwha Life trades at an extremely low PBR of 0.23x but attributes this to structural negatives: two consecutive years of no dividend (and street expectations of no 2025 dividend as well), heavy pressure from surrender‑value reserves that leave “virtually no” distributable profit, a high share of long‑term high‑guarantee policies that amplify earnings volatility in rate cycles, and a sizeable overhang risk from the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation’s 10% stake that could hit the market; the piece frames these factors as persistent headwinds limiting re‑rating and shareholder‑return potential.

| 2025-12-25 06:47 KST | KBS investigative reporting reveals that a GA wholly owned by Hanwha Life has been involved in illegal “tying” sales, using government policy loans as a hook to force customers into buying life insurance; the report questions whether Hanwha Life can credibly claim ignorance of such practices, notes that regulators (including the SME ministry and Financial Supervisory Service) are forming a task force to probe the issue, and raises concerns about compliance lapses and potential regulatory and reputational fallout for the insurer.
