Subsidiaries include Korea Business News, a TV broadcast service that offers real-time coverage of the financial market, and web portal Hankyung.com. The paper is regarded as one of the most influential newspapers among opinion leaders in the country. It is consistently rated “the most reliable economic newspaper” by its readers and offers in-depth, accurate news accounts regarding the general economy.

The paper is the most widely read economic newspaper by business executives, financial professionals and college students. Another distinct characteristic of the publication is that its readers have significant purchasing power. Many of its readers invest in the financial market. 

 

 

 

The company’s management philosophy is the ‘Promotion of a Democratic Market Economy.’ This philosophy represents the Korea Economic Daily’s strong determination to make society more business-friendly, to support enterprises that actively practice their entrepreneurship and eventually improve the quality of life for individuals and communities. 

Such a tradition is shared across all subsidiary companies of the Korea Economic Daily Media Group. The Korea Business News is recognized as a leader in business news, providing real-time financial market coverage and economic information.
