South Korean domestic legislative and media reforms

Overview

The South Korean government under President Lee Jae-myung has initiated several domestic reform efforts. Initially, the administration focused on legislative and anti-corruption measures, including an amendment to the National Assembly Act to shorten the review period for fast-track bills from 330 days to approximately 90 days. The government also established an Anti-Corruption Policy Council to address local corruption and subsidy misappropriation, alongside an integrated plan to combat digital sex crimes by targeting illegal website operators.

Following these legislative moves, the administration’s focus expanded to media and broadcasting reform. President Lee pledged to create a ‘media basic society’ by promoting the independence of the broadcasting industry and updating regulations to accommodate digital and AI-driven transitions. This includes supporting innovation through the Korea Communications Commission and improving the regulatory environment to sustain the global competitiveness of K-content.
