Yonhap News Agency

Latest News

Yonhap News Agency is a state news agency based in the capital Seoul, South Korea that supplies domestic and foreign news and information to newspaper and TV broadcast and other media in South Korea.

Yonhap (meaning "consolidated" in Korean) was established on December 19, 1980, through the merger of Hapdong News Agency and Orient Press on the model of Japan's Kyodo News Agency. It maintains various agreements with 65 non-Korean news agencies, and also has a services-exchange agreement with North Korea's KCNA agency, signed in 2002. It is the only Korean wire service that works with foreign news agencies, and provides news in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Arabic.

Yonhap was the host news agency of the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics, and was elected twice to the board of OANA.
