Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance Awards Branch Manager Kim Young-kyu as 2021 Insurance King

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance announced on the 24th that it held the ‘CY2021 Annual Awards Ceremony’ at the Shilla Hotel located in Jangchung-dong, Seoul.

This awards ceremony was organized as a place of harmony to conclude the efforts and hard work of last year’s sales family and to share joy. About 500 executives, employees, and sales family members attended, including Vice Chairman and CEO Yongbeom Kim.

The ‘Sales Grand Prize’ was awarded to Branch Manager Youngkyu Kim of the Guri Headquarters. This is his second time winning the grand prize since 2019, and he became the first male at Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance to win the grand prize more than once.

Branch Manager Kim started his social career as a supervisor but faced economic difficulties due to various hardships. He joined Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance upon the recommendation of a nearby pastor.

With a strong determination to become the insurance king, he prepared business cards with the phrase ‘Insurance King Youngkyu Kim’ in advance and introduced himself as “Insurance King Youngkyu Kim” during phone calls.

Believing that one must have pride in the company to recommend insurance products to others, he wore a Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance logo vest that he personally made and traveled throughout Guri.

As a result, from his entry in 2008 until this year, he has won the annual grand prize without fail for 14 consecutive years. It is reported that based on his belief that the true value of insurance is to subscribe to and maintain necessary products and receive proper compensation in case of an accident, he strived to design coverage that provides the maximum benefits through accurate contract analysis.

Branch Manager Kim said, “It is even more meaningful to receive this honorable grand prize in the year Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance celebrates its 100th anniversary,” and added, “My final bucket list is to become an honorary executive of Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance, and I will work even harder to achieve this.”
