WASHINGTON, D.C., June 05, 2026 — VeraSafe is proud to announce that Kyoungsic Min, Privacy Counsel and Asia Regional Lead, has been named as a recipient of the Korean Bar Association’s Outstanding Lawyer Award.
Announced by the Korean Bar Association on April 20, 2026, the award recognizes Kyoungsic’s leadership and contributions within Korea’s legal community. The recognition reflects Kyoungsic’s growing influence as a trusted advisor connecting Korea’s fast-evolving regulatory landscape with the practical needs of global organizations.
“Kyoungsic has a rare ability to connect complex legal and regulatory developments with practical, forward-looking guidance for organizations operating across jurisdictions. This recognition from the Korean Bar Association is a well-deserved honor and reflects the depth of his leadership in privacy, AI governance, and international compliance.” said Matthew Joseph, Managing Director at VeraSafe.
A dual-qualified attorney in Korea and Washington, D.C., Kyoungsic leads VeraSafe’s operations across the Asia-Pacific region. His work sits at the intersection of data protection, emerging technology, and international regulatory strategy, helping organizations navigate increasingly complex obligations with clarity and confidence.
This recognition follows Kyoungsic’s recent appointment to the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) Asia Advisory Board and as Country Leader for Korea, as well as his selection to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) Support Pool of Experts. Together, these honors reflect his unique position as a global privacy expert bridging Asia, Europe, and the U.S.
“It is an honor to receive this recognition from the Korean Bar Association. As privacy, AI, and global regulation continue to converge, lawyers have an important role to play in helping organizations build responsible, practical, and future-ready approaches to governance.” said Kyoungsic Min.
This award further demonstrates VeraSafe’s dedication to advancing privacy leadership that is globally informed and locally grounded—supporting clients through forward-thinking legal and strategic guidance.
