Korea JoongAng Daily. The next chapter.
2026-06-08
The Korea JoongAng Daily has covered the Korean Peninsula for international readers for 26 years. Today, we're launching a site rebuilt to do that job better.
Cleaner design
Every page — from the homepage to individual articles — has been redesigned, on desktop and mobile.
The new site is faster to navigate, easier to read and purpose-built around our journalism.
Deeper storytelling
We've launched original series that go beyond the headlines — into Korea's communities, industries and the stories that take time to tell properly. Expect more of that. We also bring live coverage to the biggest stories as they happen — rolling updates in real time, as the news demands.
As the English arm of the JoongAng Ilbo, Korea's newspaper of record, we're also working to bring more Korean-language premium journalism into English.
A smarter way to read Korea
The Korea JoongAng Daily has always been your trusted source for Korean news, and that hasn't changed. What has changed is everything around the journalism — the structure, the presentation and the reading experience — so that the coverage we've built over 26 years is easier to find, follow and come back to.
The site we launch today is only the start of a new chapter for the Korea JoongAng Daily, with more updates to come.
The Korea JoongAng Daily has long been published under the motto, “Your window to Korea.”
The view has never been better.
