ee Jae-myung has been confirmed as the 23rd President of South Korea. (As of June 4, 12:00 a.m.)
With the political landscape shifting from a minority ruling party to a majority ruling party, laws related to broadcasting and media that have been stagnant are expected to gradually improve.
On June 4, 2025, with the official inauguration of President-elect Lee Jae-myung, changes are expected in the policy and institutional environment surrounding South Korea's broadcasting and media industry. In particular, the media industry, which has lost its direction amid rapid changes in the media ecosystem, the market penetration of global OTT companies, the decline of traditional broadcasting, and fragmented regulatory systems and the proliferation of policy-making entities, is expected to enter a new phase.
There is a growing call for a clearer and more integrated regulatory framework to harmoniously achieve the dual goals of public service in broadcasting and industrial growth.
