About Dong-A Ilbo
Dong-A Ilbo is the parent company of Dong-a Media Group (DAMG), which encompasses 11 affiliates, including Sports Dong-a, Dong-a Science, DUNet, dongA.com, and the broadcasting company Channel A. The newspaper was founded by Kim Seong-su in 1920. There is a perceived influence from Samsung due to the marriage of Chairman Kim Byeong-kwan's son, Kim Jae-yeol, to Lee Seo-hyun, daughter of former Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee.
Dong-A Ilbo is considered a newspaper of record in South Korea and has a long history, including a significant role in the Korean independence movement. While historically having a liberal alignment, it has been identified as a conservative and right-wing newspaper since the 1970s, particularly after a period of government pressure and journalist firings in 1974-1975 known as the 'blank advertisement incident'. Despite its general conservative stance, Dong-A Ilbo has shown a willingness to criticize the current conservative Yoon Suk-yeol administration. South Korea's press freedom, while generally free, faces challenges such as defamation laws and potential government or conglomerate influence. Public trust in newspapers, including Dong-A Ilbo, is relatively low compared to broadcast media in South Korea.
