In a Korean DC pension or IRP, if you have not chosen how to invest when you join, or 4 weeks after a chosen product ends, the provider notifies you; no choice within 2 weeks and your money goes into the pre-set default option. You can switch out at any time.

Korea's Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act sets the DB lump sum at no less than 30 days' average wage per year of service and DC contributions at no less than 1/12 of annual wages. On 3 million won a month for 20 years with 3% pay growth, DB gives 105,210,363 won; DC at a 4% return gives 115,503,572 won.

Does the company invest it, or do you? Plus how IRP fits in.
