Arirang News

"Arirang" is actually the title of a traditional Korean folk song. The song has long carried the joys and sorrows of Korea and has more recently become a symbol of the country's spirit. As its name suggests, Arirang TV strives to approach the world with a gentle charm and warmth embodying Korea's true spirit. It does not limit itself to simply introducing the country's tradition and culture but instead seeks to promote peace across the world, help preserve nature, and heal the wounds of war through high-quality broadcast contents. Arirang TV will take the lead in ensuring that all assets in the fields of history, culture, art, science and medicine can be shared with everyone regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, age, or religion. In this era of multi-media and multi-channels, Arirang TV and Radio will continue to challenge itself with providing better contents to users of different platforms around the world. It is our duty to globalize Korea's vision and philosophy. Arirang also strives to share Korean virtues and introduce its industries and economic growth engines. It would be a great pleasure to share Korea's vision with people all over the world. There are several values and aspects that the global community associates with Korea. The first is the success story of rising up from the ashes of the Korean War that followed the Japanese colonial rule. We hope that the experience and knowhow accumulated from this process will be shared with developing as well as underdeveloped countries around the world. The second is a distinctive culture boasting 5,000 years of history. Some aspects of this culture have already been fused into the global community in the form of K-pop, food, fashion, art, literature, and lifestyle. The third is tasks that the country faces as the world's last remaining Cold-War frontier. The nation has yet to achieve peaceful reunification and reunite separated families. The division, however, has turned the demiltiarized zone into a sanctuary of nature. Arirang TV aims to be in the vanguard of both maintaining Korea's values while sharing and promoting them worldwide. We hope everyone across the world can enjoy the beauty of coexistence and shared prosperity as they watch Arirang TV and listen to Arirang Radio. We remain steadfast in our aim to be a globally accessible broadcaster always ready to captivate our audience.
