South Korea company director search — find directors and officers
Source-cited registry guidance — access and document fees vary by source.
Search DART / Supreme Court Registry at the official source
DART is a disclosure source, not a complete register of every Korean business. For legal registration evidence, distinguish disclosures from the Supreme Court registration service.
Official access and fees vary. A human request is an enquiry, not a guaranteed extract or completed purchase.
How do I find the directors and officers of a company in South Korea?
To research company directors in South Korea, identify the exact company in DART / Supreme Court Registry at https://dart.fss.or.kr, then check available officer records, extracts or filings. Coverage, access and fees vary by entity and source. A named officer is not automatically an owner or an authorised signatory for every transaction.
Step-by-step

Go to https://dart.fss.or.kr and search by name or registration number.

Find available officer evidence
Inspect the available officers section or relevant filing. Where the profile omits officers, check official document options and access rules; do not infer missing appointments.
- 3
Record the role and dates
Preserve the source's role description, appointment or resignation date where supplied, and the filing date. Directors, managers, representatives and beneficial owners are not interchangeable roles.
- 4
Check the document's scope
Save the source URL and retrieval date. If the decision requires signing authority or a certified document, check those requirements separately; an officer-name match alone is not sufficient.
South Korea: choosing and checking the right record
- Choose the correct source
- Use DART for corporate disclosures and filings in its scope. For a legal registration check, consult the relevant registration service rather than assuming every small Korean business must appear in DART.
- Confirm the entity
- Keep a DART company code separate from a corporate registration number and a business registration number. Compare the Korean legal name and the entity behind an English brand name.
Check current access and document options on the official DART / Supreme Court Registry site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the South Korea registry guide.
Frequently asked questions
Are South Korea company directors public information?
Check the exact entity's available DART / Supreme Court Registry record and official document options. Public officer coverage and disclosed personal information vary; neither every entity nor every appointment is necessarily accessible free of charge.
How do I check a company's directors in South Korea?
Confirm the registration number first, then inspect available officers or relevant filings on DART / Supreme Court Registry (https://dart.fss.or.kr). Record roles and dates only where supplied; distinguish a current officer entry from an older filing.
Can I run a directorship search by a person's name in South Korea?
Most registers, including DART / Supreme Court Registry, index by company rather than by person. The reliable route is to open each company's record and read its officer list. Where a register does offer an officer-name index, it appears as a separate search on the official site.
Where can I find a South Korea company's board free of charge?
Start with the public information available on DART / Supreme Court Registry (https://dart.fss.or.kr). If officer information is not supplied, check whether an official extract or filing is required and what it costs. Free access is not universal.
How current is director data on DART / Supreme Court Registry?
Check the appointment dates, document dates and source retrieval date where available. Reporting delays, historical filings and cached results can differ from the current appointment state; do not describe an old document as a live officer list.
