SEOUL--(Korea Newswire)--Korea NewsWire (www.newswire.co.kr), the nation’s leading press release distribution platform, announced that it has surpassed 1 million cumulative distributions as of May 14. Since its founding in 2004, Korea NewsWire has spent 22 years evolving into the backbone of South Korea's digital PR landscape, consistently expanding its reach and setting the standard for reliable, high-impact media communications.

A Trusted PR Platform for 47,000 Companies and Organizations

Surpassing the 1-million-mark is a testament to the enduring trust of the PR community. To date, 47,000 organizations—including nearly 29,000 businesses and over 18,000 PR agencies—rely on Korea NewsWire to amplify their message. By providing a scalable channel for every type of entity, from global conglomerates and public institutions to emerging startups, Korea NewsWire has established itself as the most comprehensive PR network in South Korea.

Delivering 5,800 Global Brands to the Korean Press

In partnership with Business Wire, Korea NewsWire has distributed releases from 5,800 global companies to the Korean media since 2013. This vital partnership enables international businesses to navigate the local media landscape and reach Korean audiences with precision and authority.

Supporting 237 Startups Through Pro Bono PR

Korea NewsWire remains committed to corporate social responsibility through its ‘Startup PR Support’ initiative. To date, the project has provided free distribution services to 237 early-stage ventures less than two years old, offering each company a support package valued at KRW 300,000. By lowering the barrier to media exposure, Korea NewsWire is helping high-potential startups build the visibility needed to scale and thrive.
