Hanjin Group KRX: 002320 is a Korean holding company and sixth largest company in Korea (1999) which has been described by the Korea Herald as a Chaebol. It includes a shipping company Hanjin Shipping and Korean Air (KAL).

In 1999, Hanjin Group paid the largest penalty tax ever levied in Korea to that time; 541.6 billion won ($445.8 million) [1]. The Korean Herald even suggested that one of it's three managing Tycoons might be imprisoned due to "prosecution on tax-evasion charges". The chairman of Hanjin also stood trial for involvement in "illegal campaign funding"[2]
