K-FinHallu: A Hallucination Detection Benchmark for Multi-Turn RAG in Korean Finance

arXiv:2605.29523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced financial automation through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), yet hallucinations remain a critical barrier to deployment in high-stakes environments. Existing benchmarks focus on single-turn, English-centric tasks, leaving the multi-turn dynamics and linguistic-regulatory nuances of the Korean financial domain unaddressed. We introduce K-FinHallu, the first benchmark for hallucination detection in multi-turn Korean financial RAG. We construct multi-turn dialogues from authentic Korean financial docu

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid deployment of LLMs in financial applications necessitates robust hallucination detection benchmarks, especially as these models move beyond English and single-turn interactions.

Why it’s important

Hallucinations remain a critical barrier to LLM deployment in high-stakes financial environments, and tailored benchmarks are crucial for mitigating this risk in specific linguistic and regulatory contexts.

What changes

The introduction of K-FinHallu provides a specific tool for evaluating and improving the reliability of multi-turn RAG systems in Korean finance, addressing a previously unaddressed gap.

Winners
  • · Korean financial institutions
  • · Korean AI developers
  • · LLM safety and reliability researchers
  • · AI governance and regulatory bodies
Losers
  • · LLM providers with poor multi-lingual hallucination detection
  • · Companies relying on untest-ed, multi-turn RAG in finance
Second-order effects
Direct

Improved reliability and trustworthiness of LLM-powered financial automation in Korea.

Second

Accelerated adoption of RAG-based AI solutions in other non-English, regulated financial markets.

Third

Increased global competition among LLM providers to develop robust, multi-lingual hallucination detection capabilities.
