Korea Media and Communications Commission, also known as KMCC or KCC, is a State Owned entity headquartered in South Korea. Founded in 2008, the organization functions as a South Korean media regulation agency, modeled after the Federal Communications Commission of the United States of America. It was established on February 29, 2008, combining the former Korean Broadcasting Commission and the Ministry of Information and Communication, with decisions made by the five members of the Commission. The organization was renamed Korea Media and Communications Commission in October 2025 under the Lee Jae-myung government, adding the media component to its mandate.
The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) disapproved pay-TV operator D'Live's financial improvement plan on September 28, 2026, ordering the submission of a new plan within three months. This action halted D'Live's plan designed to meet conditions for its license renewal last year. Previously, on July 7, a revised enforcement decree of the "Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc." came into effect to prevent the distribution of malicious fake news and fabricated information. The KCC had announced the Cabinet's approval of this revision, which follows a law amended in January and reflects detailed standards decided by the KCC in late June. Earlier, on June 15, KCC Chairman Kim Jong-chul announced the commission would soon finalize and officially impose sanctions, including fines, on Google and Apple regarding in-app payments. On the same day, Chairman Kim Jong-cheol unveiled a vision for a "basic media society" to ensure universal media access and utilization, mentioning the potential introduction of "media vouchers" for content platforms, networks, and devices. This followed a joint initiation meeting on June 10 between the Ministry of Science and ICT and the KCC, where they discussed policy cooperation for building a safe and innovative artificial intelligence and media ecosystem.
