kMedia

Also k-media. Short for South Korean Media, basically the Fake News of Korea. It’s the ugly offspring of modern Korean pop culture and wild, out-of-control capitalism, known for trash journalism, human rights violations, cyberbullying, and corruption. This is where journalism hits rock bottom, even lower than the worst British tabloids.

In the world of kMedia, anything can be turned into a scandal—from a celebrity getting a date to them falling off a bike—all depending on who’s paying for the article.

Famous for causing real damage, kMedia loves to pin celebrities to the wall with nonstop defamation and misinformation. A kMedia "journalist" can pump out hundreds of trashy, pointless articles a day, as long as their bank account keeps getting filled.

Popular kMedia outlets include: Pannchoa, Top Star, Ten Asia, and Koreaboo.

"My son may not have a job, but at least he’s not a kMedia journalist."
"My life might suck, but at least I don’t work for Ten Asia."
