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.
Legislation designed to prevent the distribution of malicious fake news by "cyber wreckers" took effect on July 7, following the Broadcast Media and Telecommunications Commission's (Korea Media and Communications Commission) approval of an amendment to the 'Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.' This amendment, which followed a law revised in January, established detailed standards based on decisions made during a full commission meeting on May 29. On June 15, Korea Communications Commission (KCC) Chairman Kim Jong-chul announced the KCC would soon finalize and officially implement sanctions, including fines, regarding in-app payments between Google and Apple. Earlier the same day, Chairman Kim Jong-cheol unveiled a vision for a "basic media society" aimed at ensuring universal access and utilization of media for all citizens, indicating the potential introduction of a "media voucher" to guarantee access to content platforms, networks, and devices. This followed a joint initiation meeting on June 10, where the Ministry of Science and ICT and the KCC discussed policy cooperation to build a safe and innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and media ecosystem. Previously, on May 21, the Korea Communications Commission announced plans to implement corrective measures and impose fines for infringements of user interests related to Compose Coffee.
