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.
Kim Jong-chul, chairman of the Korea Communications Commission (KCC), announced on June 15 that the commission will finalize and soon make official the sanctions process, including fines, concerning in-app payments between Google and Apple. Earlier the same day, Kim Jong-cheol also unveiled a vision to develop a blueprint for a "basic media society," ensuring universal media access and utilization for all citizens, mentioning a "media voucher" as a potential policy tool to guarantee access to content platforms, networks, and devices. Previously, on June 10, the KCC and the Ministry of Science and ICT held an initiation meeting of their policy councils to discuss cooperation measures for building a safe and innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and media ecosystem. This followed the KCC's announcement on May 21 that it would take corrective measures and impose fines for infringement of Compose Coffee's user interests. On May 15, a court ruled as legitimate the appointment of KBS auditors, which the Korea Communications Commission had previously voted for under a "two-person system," though judicial opinions on the legitimacy of decisions made with only two members in the five-member agreement system remain mixed.
