South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media and Communications Commission plans to upgrade its response system to false and manipulated information under a revised information network law. It will push to strengthen accountability for large platforms and seek to set up a transparency centre to support fact-checking. The commission also plans to introduce labelling for online AI-generated content and raise transparency around recommendation algorithms. It is reviewing measures to regulate youth SNS use and preparing pay-TV regulatory changes and other media policy steps.

The Broadcasting Media Communications Commission approved the nomination and appointment of nine public broadcaster directors recommended by the Democratic Party. It decided to nominate four directors for KBS and appoint two directors to the Foundation for Broadcast Culture and three directors to EBS. The commission postponed a decision on one Foundation for Broadcast Culture nominee pending completion of fact-checking. It urged other nominating bodies to submit remaining recommendations promptly.
