EBS will introduce a large number of new contents along with the reorganization in the spring in 2026.

On the morning of the 25th, a briefing session on the 2026 EBS reorganization was held at the Gwanghwamun Press Center National Press Club in Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul. EBS President Kim Yoo-yeol, Broadcasting Production Director Nam Sun-sook, and Programming Center Director Kim Kwang-ho attended.

At this briefing session, EBS introduced new programs that are innovative while focusing on the nature of educational public broadcasting, such as educational programs necessary to live in the AI era along with the direction of reorganization in 2026.

EBS President Kim Yoo-yeol said, "I remember holding 18 press conferences for reorganization while serving as the head of the programming planning department three times. I personally feel new today. He has been a producer in the golden age of broadcasting. I have mixed feelings these days when I see the broadcasting industry itself shaking. At one point in 2002, there was a time when advertisements for four terrestrial broadcasters exceeded 2 trillion won. Last year, it fell to the 500 billion won level. It has continued to fall this year. My fear is ahead of me," he said.

"The AI-era broadcasting industry is at a crossroads of life and death. EBS has grown through innovation whenever new media emerges. In 1992, when I joined the company, EBS's annual budget was only 17 billion won. EBS conducted Korea's first satellite broadcasting in 1997. At that time, EBS quickly grew into a broadcaster worth 83 billion won per year in five years. After launching the Internet SAT service for the first time in 2004, it introduced a remote education system in 2020, and recently was reborn as a comprehensive public education media group worth 300 billion won through AI innovation. We are also continuing our surplus management," he said.

President Kim said, "EBS, which has been growing rapidly every time new media emerges, sees the AI era as an opportunity, not a crisis, and is focusing on AI innovation and AX. EBS did not end with AX innovation as a slogan while working on the reorganization of the program, but wanted to make "specific reorganization reforms through AI innovation." Almost all departments, including organization, production, school, technology, video, and business, plan and produce AI contents. You will be able to enjoy a variety of experimental AI content today. EBS wants to be reborn as a new public education media group through AI innovation. The effects of this AI challenge and experiment will soon be felt on the skin. As soon as the effect is confirmed, we will fully expand and produce AI content," he added.
