NO AGENDA ANALYSIS

Objective and impartial

In an ecosystem dominated by bias and political affiliation, KOREA PRO's in-house analysts strive to offer objective insights to help you understand all sides of the story.

WIDE-RANGING EXTERNAL ANALYSTS

All ideas welcome

Complementing in-house writers, KOREA PRO leverages the specialist knowledge of a wide range of external contributors – hailing from all walks of society.

AVOID COMMERCIAL INFLUENCE

No ads or sponsored articles

It's common for ROK corporations to threaten local media with a suspension of advertising in order to kill damaging articles before they are published. At other times, interviews are nothing more than sponsored content. KOREA PRO avoids all advertising and advertorials to stick to the facts 100%.
