BNK Financial Group reported a Q3 net profit of 210.5 billion won, representing a 28.45% decrease year-on-year. According to the Seoul Economic Daily, revenue rose 34.92% to reach 3.1 trillion won, even as operating profit declined by 37.04% during the same period.

The profit slump was primarily driven by weaker earnings performance at the group's main banking units, Busan Bank and Kyongnam Bank. This significant decline in bottom-line profitability occurred despite the surge in total revenue, highlighting performance challenges within the group's core banking subsidiaries.
