KT&G, originally "Korea Tobacco & Ginseng Corporation", is the leading tobacco company in South Korea with sales over two billion US dollars per annum yielding significant profits on a consistent basis. KT&G was originally a government-owned monopoly but today is majority-owned by foreigners and highly competitive on its own merits as shown by its high market share competing with the world's largest tobacco firms such as BAT, JT, and PM.
KT&G produces some of the most popular Korean cigarette brands, such as The One, Indigo, Arirang, This, This Plus, Zest, Esse, Raison, and Lo Crux. It also enjoys growing success outside Korea, especially through its superslims brand Esse in Russia and other eastern European markets.
KT&G also has significant affiliates such as a ginseng corporation, a pharmaceutical firm, and several bio ventures. Its headquarters are in Daejeon.
