Korea JoongAng Daily

Korea JoongAng Daily is the English-language edition of JoongAng Ilbo, one of South Korea's three largest newspapers, owned by the Hong family through JoongAng Holdings. It sits in the moderate-conservative lane of South Korean media and is widely seen as pro-business in its editorial orientation. As a foreign outlet covering U.S. affairs through the lens of South Korean national interests — trade, security alliances, and North Korea policy — its coverage of the Trump administration is predominantly informational rather than strongly for or against.
