Dividend Yield: 3.7%

The company's dividends are supported by a low payout ratio (38.3%), suggesting sustainability, yet its history shows volatility in dividend payments over the past nine years. Trading at significant undervaluation, its yield stands strong at 4.45% in Korea's top quartile, but the short track record and erratic dividends may concern long-term investors seeking stability.
