Korea Educational Broadcasting System, also known as EBS, is a state-owned entity headquartered in South Korea. Founded in 1974, it employs approximately 120 individuals. The organization reported $55.8M in revenue as of 2023. It functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. Specializing in broadcast television and radio, EBS operates as a South Korean educational public radio and television network covering South Korean territory. It is notable as the only major South Korean radio and television network joint venture between the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Education without a separate regional service. The entity was established as KBS 3 and KBS Educational Radio in the 1980s, becoming an independent corporation in 1990.
On September 9, 2026, the Korea Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) faced scrutiny for not airing a single Ultra High Definition (UHD) broadcast, despite investing over 10 billion won in infrastructure over five years and spending a decade building related systems. A lawmaker called for an overhaul of South Korea's UHD transition policy, raising questions about the effectiveness of public fund management. Earlier, on July 13, 2026, EBS collaborated with Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, to host the "2026 EBS Chungcheongnam-do College Entrance Exam Strategy Briefing in Seocheon." This event, held at the Seocheon Arts and Culture Center, aimed to provide customized college entrance exam roadmaps for local students and parents grappling with rapidly changing admission systems.
