Democratic Party Expands and Renames ‘Deli Minjoo’ to ‘Minjoo Party TV’... “Kim Minseok to Deliver Official Messages Regularly for Now”

Woonghyun Han: "Enhancing Credibility in Proactive Agenda-Setting"
Namjun Kim: "Selecting Content Providers from Existing Channels"

The Democratic Party of Korea is changing the name of its official YouTube channel from "Deli Minjoo" to "Minjoo Party TV" and expanding its operations. Minseok Kim, leader of the Democratic Party, has decided to make regular appearances on the broadcast until it becomes established, aiming to communicate directly with the public.

The Minjoo Party TV preparation task force announced that, starting from September 1, the channel will pilot a morning broadcast. Unlike its previous focus—mainly providing live coverage of key events and meetings such as the Supreme Council meetings—Minjoo Party TV will now serve as the primary platform for all news produced by the party.

The new flagship morning live content will air for about one hour starting at 7 a.m. It will be divided into two parts, each delving deeply into the Democratic Party's major current issues and policy directions.

For the time being, the first part will feature leader Kim, who will deliver the party's official stance and engage in direct communication with the public and party members. The second part will offer so-called "Poli-tainment" (Politics + Entertainment) content, designed to set political agendas with a popular and entertaining approach.

Woonghyun Han, chief of the Minjoo Party TV preparation task force, said, "Starting with the pilot broadcast on September 1, followed by broadcasts on the 3rd, 8th, and 10th (Tuesday and Thursday), we plan a total of four pilot episodes. Reflecting party member and viewer feedback, our goal is to officially launch regular weekday broadcasts, five days a week, beginning on September 14. The renewed Minjoo Party TV aims to strengthen its credibility in agenda-setting and fulfill its role as a robust two-way communication platform."

Namjun Kim, head of public relations for the Democratic Party, added, "We will select content creators for existing Democratic progressive and centrist channels to expand live broadcast programming into other time slots. Rather than competing with these excellent progressive channels, we seek to build a healthy and vibrant public discourse ecosystem by cooperating and connecting, embracing a variety of perspectives with dignity."
