KOREAN RADIO
Korean-language radio is shaped by the K-Pop phenomenon but extends well beyond it — trot (traditional Korean pop), indie music, and substantive talk and news formats all have dedicated audiences. Major networks KBS, MBC, and SBS each operate radio services alongside their TV channels.
Korean radio has a unique fan-interactive culture — listeners and K-Pop fans actively participate in request shows, voting, and real-time engagement with hosts and idol guests.
