Greeting:

Hello, is Mr. /Ms.                      available please?

Hi Mr. /Ms.                     , my name is                                          and I am calling on behalf of the The Korea Fund on a recorded line. Recently you were mailed proxy materials for the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on October 29, 2008. Have you received this material?

If Received:

Your Fund’s Board of Directors is recommending that you vote in favor of the proposals outlined in the proxy statement. For your convenience, would you like to vote now over the phone?

IF Yes:

The process will only take a few moments.

Again, my name is                     , a proxy voting specialist on behalf of the The Korea Fund. Today’s date is                      and the time is                     Eastern Time.

Would you please state your full name and full mailing address?

Are you authorized to vote all shares?
(If yes, proceed with voting process)

(If no, identify with shareholder which accounts s/he is authorized to vote and proceed with voting process)

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the proposals as set forth in the material you received and recommends a favorable vote for these proposals. How do you wish to vote your account/each of your accounts?

For Favorable Vote:

Mr. /Ms. I have recorded your vote as follows, for all of your The Korea Fund accounts you are voting in favor of the proposals as set forth in the proxy materials you received.
