The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) is a South Korean state-owned regulatory agency established in 2008. Headquartered in South Korea, the KCC's functions are modeled after the United States' Federal Communications Commission, focusing on the regulation of the country's media landscape.
On September 9th, 2024, a bill to dissolve the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) and create the Broadcasting Media and Communications Commission passed a National Assembly subcommittee. The bill, spearheaded by the Democratic Party, allows current KCC officials to transfer to the new commission, but the KCC chairperson's term will not be extended. On the same day, KCC Chairperson Lee Jin-sook stated that the government's proposed reorganization, including the KCC's dissolution, would face legal challenges if passed into law. This followed the government's announcement on September 8th of a plan to abolish the KCC and create a new entity with expanded responsibilities, also incorporating roles from the Ministry of Science and ICT. Separately, on September 11th, the KCC issued an advisory warning KT users about fraudulent micropayments, advising users to lower payment limits, disable payment services if necessary, and report suspected fraud.
