The Korea Times

South Korean English-language daily (mainstream, center-left to centrist)

The Korea Times is a privately owned South Korean English-language daily. Dongwha Group owns it, and it is a sister paper of Hankook Ilbo. Its recent coverage and editorials are often critical of Trump administration moves that affect South Korea, such as tariffs, scaled-back joint drills and pressure over Iran. Its news reporting on Washington and the alliance is otherwise largely factual.

Owned byDongwha Group (Dongwha Enterprise), a South Korean wood-products conglomerate that also owns the Korean-language daily Hankook Ilbo. It bought the paper after the Hankook Ilbo Media Group's embezzlement scandal in 2013–2014.
