About KRW to LKR
The South Korean Won (KRW) is the currency of South Korea. The rate on this page is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's daily indicative rate: the number of Sri Lankan rupees for 1 KRW, published once each business day. When the number rises, the rupee has weakened against the South Korean Won; when it falls, the rupee has strengthened.
