| About Us | Our Companies | Our Reflection |
KBS today is different from when it started in 1926. Managed by the Cho Dae-hyun - the current President and CEO of KBS - KBS is now the largest television network in
Korea! It has up to 6 radio channels, 8 TV channels, 4 digital multimedia broadcasting channels and 2 international channels!
KBS is well known for producing variety shows differently, and the audience love that its variety shows are more natural and less scripted! The entertainment value keeps its
audience hooked and keep coming back for more! Personally, I enjoyed watching Return of the Superman!!

MOU between KBS and Daum Kakao
Last month, KBS has signed a MOU with the 2nd largest Web Portal Communications - Daum - and the number 1 in the mobile messenger firm - Kakao! The merger of Daum
and Kakao has brought about a 71% increase in their operating profits in the last quarter of the year. The operating profits increased significantly to SGD$59 million!
We hope that the new agreement between KBS and Daum Kakao will bring KBS to greater heights and more profits!
Launch of Creative Content Center
In the last quarter of last year, KBS launched its first Creative Content Center to better plan, produce and manage innovative content to enhance its production standard.
With this new center, they aim to capture both local and global audiences effectively.
