Lee Jeong-heon says thousands of disaster broadcast dead spots for second straight year, post-management lacking

Thousands of tunnels and underground facilities across South Korea had poor reception of disaster broadcasts for a second consecutive year, Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Jeong-heon said. A survey of 5,647 facilities last year found poor reception at 65.9 percent for FM radio and 73.8 percent for DMB. Nearly half of facilities had FM problems in both 2024 and 2025. Lee criticised the broadcasting regulator for lacking follow-up checks and sanctions after notifying facility operators.
