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.
A court on March 25, 2026, ruled illegal the Korea Communications Commission’s (KCC) decision to appoint a new president for the Korea Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) under a ‘two-person system’. Previously, on March 4, the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), in conjunction with the KCC, announced the publication of a revised guide to the Information and Communications Network Act, aiming to support compliance and prevent illegal spam. Earlier, on February 22, the head of Korea's media and telecommunications regulator met with Brazil's communications minister to discuss cooperation in next-generation technologies. This followed the administration's decision on February 3 to abandon its appeal after a court ruled that the appointment of seven KBS directors made during the Yoon Suk-yeol administration was illegal and subsequently cancelled. On January 26, the KCC also announced its "2026 Personal Location Information Business Registration Appropriateness Review Plan," outlining its registration review plan for personal location information business operators for the year.
