The Korea Times (Korean: 코리아타임스) is a daily English-language newspaper in South Korea. It is a sister paper of the Hankook Ilbo, a major Korean language daily; both are owned by Dongwha Enterprise, a wood-based manufacturer.[1] It is the oldest active daily English-language newspaper in South Korea. Since the late 1950s, it had been published by the Hankook Ilbo Media Group, but following an embezzlement scandal in 2013–2014[2][3] it was sold to Dongwha Group, which also acquired Hankook Ilbo.[4][5] The president-publisher of The Korea Times is Oh Young-jin.[6]
Former Korean President Kim Dae-jung famously taught himself English by reading The Korea Times.[7]
