The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Choi Hwi-young) announced on the 25th that it will hold the "2026 Korea Policy Reporters' Opening Ceremony" at the Seoul Museum of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Jongno-gu, Seoul).

Launched in 2008 and celebrating its 19th anniversary this year, the "Korea Policy Press Group" is a national press group that experiences government policies from the perspective of the people and informs the process of policies permeating into life through articles. It is selected through open recruitment for the general public who is interested in policy and has excellent ability to write articles and produce content.

In this year's contest, which was applied by a total of 831 people, a total of 40 people were selected through a fierce competition rate of over 20:1. The press corps will experience policies at various policy sites for about 10 months until December this year and write them in articles. The articles they covered will be published through Korea's policy briefing and blog.

The launching ceremony will award reporters who showed excellent activities last year, award and encourage new press corps appointment letters, and provide education on policy promotion planning and article writing.

Yu Xia, who was selected as a policy reporter, said, "It is a great honor to be selected as a policy reporter for the Republic of Korea. I want to be a warm channel of communication between policy and the people with the voices of the policy field from the perspective of the people," he said.

Gong Hyung-sik, head of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's National Communication Office, said, "The policy reporters in Korea are experiencing the policy in person and delivering it in articles that are familiar and easy to understand at the level of the people," adding, "We hope that the activities of the policy reporters will serve as a bridge between the people and policies beyond informing them." The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, "We will spare no support for the reporters' activities."
