Business
YTN Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based media and broadcasting company that specializes in 24-hour news coverage, multimedia content production, thematic cable network operations, and commercial facility management. The company operates through several integrated business segments comprising television broadcasting, digital and mobile media, radio transmission, and real estate leasing. Its core products and services include its flagship 24-hour real-time news television channel, YTN, delivering domestic and international news, politics, financial markets, sports, and investigative reporting; specialized thematic cable and satellite networks, including YTN Science, dedicated to science, technology, and information culture, YTN2, focused on lifestyle, cultural programming, and public interest content, and YTN World and YTN Korean, delivering international satellite broadcasts and news to global overseas audiences; radio broadcasting services through YTN Radio (FM 94.5 MHz), broadcasting continuous news, political commentary, weather, and traffic updates; digital and new media platforms, including the YTN News portal, proprietary mobile news applications, online video-on-demand services, and dedicated digital streaming channels across major social media and OTT platforms; terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting operated via YTN DMB; broadcast infrastructure and real estate leasing, anchored by the ownership, commercial leasing, visitor observation facilities, and transmission antenna tower operations of Namsan Seoul Tower; and multimedia advertising sales, broadcast sponsorship solutions, and commercial production services across television, radio, and digital channels. In recent corporate developments, YTN has undergone a major ownership transition and privatization process stemming from the divestment of a combined 30.95 percent controlling stake formerly held by state-affiliated entities KEPCO KDN and the Korea Racing Authority. Eugene Group emerged as the winning bidder and finalized the acquisition of the controlling stake through its entity Eugene ENT following approval by the Korea Communications Commission, driving subsequent organizational restructuring, capital allocation into digital newsrooms, and expansion into artificial intelligence-driven broadcasting workflows and multi-platform digital distribution. Founded in 1993, YTN Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and trades on the KOSDAQ market under the ticker symbol 040300.
