About Korea.net

Korea.net is the web portal representing the voice of the Korean government and promoting Korea. The origin of the website stretches back to The Korea Window, which the government launched in December 1995.

Even in those early days, the Korean government seized on the Internet, realizing that it would become the leading form of communication in an era of information and technology. Currently, Korea.net provides up-to-date information about Korea across a variety of fields, including government policies, international cooperation, cultural developments, the arts, history, social movements, science, technology, business, sports and so on. We do so in 10 languages: English, simplified Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, French, German, Vietnamese and Indonesian. 

Most of the information at Korea.net falls into one of five categories: News Focus, About Korea, Events, Resources and Government. Thanks to these articles, readers can get information about Korea across many sectors through news articles, encyclopedia-style information sheets, explanations of government policies, reports about the president's summits and diplomatic activities and tourism information.

Korea.net has been strengthening communication with its online readers worldwide through various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Flickr, Weibo and Youku. Korea.net's Facebook page Korea Clickers as of February 2024 had 603,812 subscribers and its Instagram account 64,606, ranking among the most popular social media accounts of the government.

Korea.net engages in active communication with its neighbors around the world through its team of Honorary Reporters and its overseas columnists.
