Korean name

Hankook Ilbo (Korean: 한국일보; Hanja: 韓國日報; lit. Korea Daily) is a Korean-language daily newspaper in Seoul, South Korea.[2] As of 2017, it had a daily circulation of about 213,200.[3]

It was previously published by the Hankook Ilbo Media Group, however following an embezzlement scandal in 2013–2014[4][5] it was sold to Dongwha Enterprise, which also owns The Korea Times.[6][7]

Political position

Hankook Ilbo tends to be economically centre-right and socially centre-left. Hankook Ilbo is a "liberal" media, but this is different from the meaning of "liberal" in the American political context.[8]

Hankook Ilbo officially doesn't put forward ideology other than "centrism". However, Hankook Ilbo has basically shown a fiscal conservative tone that values "fiscal responsibility". The newspaper has often criticized the Moon Jae-in government's fiscal policy for its lack of awareness of "financial soundness" (Korean: 재정건전성).[9][10] This newspaper also supports "liberal economy".[11]

In contrast to the somewhat conservative tendency financially, the Hankook Ilbo has some cultural liberal tendency. The newspaper supported LGBT and other minority rights and emphasized "diversity",[12] and also criticized the hatred of obesity in Korean society.[13] In addition, the Hankook Ilbo has a favorable view of feminism.[14]
