Specialist (re)insurance broker Miller has made four senior hires to launch a new Marine team to build out Miller Korea.
KyungSeop (KS) Shim has been named head of specialty to lead the team, and he is joined by Justin Roh, Hana Jung, and Jayce Park, all of whom are former employees of Marsh Korea.
KS Shim previously held senior roles at Marsh Korea, including head of specialty and head of marine, with five years of running his own shipping business.
In his new capacity, Shim will concentrate on developing Miller’s marine insurance services in Korea.
KS said: “We believe that bringing Miller’s reputation for outstanding client service to this market will create real opportunity, and we’re excited to be building a dedicated team with expertise across both broking and claims.
“This is a great opportunity to join an independent business with a well-established international presence, and we look forward to getting started.”

By GlobalDataRoh, with more than 15 years of experience in P&I claims and legal affairs at Hyundai Merchant Marine and a five-year tenure in broking at Marsh Korea, specialises in property and marine insurance.
His expertise spans P&I, hull and machinery, and various transport and logistics risks.
Jung, who served as vice president at Marsh Korea, managed a portfolio that included direct P&I and FD&D business, along with retail and reinsurance programmes for H&M, War Risks, and K&R.
Jung has background in legal and insurance roles in the shipping and logistics sectors.
Park has experience in retail broking and facultative reinsurance placements, particularly in P&I, hull and machinery, and container risks, having previously served at Marsh where she handled claims and collections across multiple lines including marine, aviation, and liability.
Miller head of Korea David Kim stated: “Bringing KS and the team on board allows us to focus on growing our marine proposition in the region and further establish Korea as a meaningful location for Miller.
“Over time, we expect to expand into other lines as we capitalise on the potential for close collaboration with our strong foundations in the London marine market.”
In June 2025, Miller completed the acquisition of specialist reinsurance broker AHJ Holdings, the parent company of Alwen Hough Johnson and AHJ Europe.
