English
'Arirang' is actually a traditional Korean folk song.
It means, 'I am a gentle man.' The song 'Arirang' has
represented the joy and sorrow of Korea for a long
time and it has now become the spirit of Korea.
Befitting its name, Arirang TV approaches the world
with a gentle and charming smile that embodies
Korea's spirit. We will not limit ourselves to simply
introducing Korea's tradition and culture, but we will
strive to achieve world peace, preserve the Earth, and
heal the wounds of war through high quality contents.
We will take the lead in sharing all assets of this world -
from history, culture and art to science and medicine -
to every person regardless of nationality, ethnicity,
age, or religion.
Arirang TV endeavors to become the advance guard
that preserves, develops and spreads the globally shared
values that Korea has. We hope that the people all
across the world living in this age on this planet called
earth enjoy the bliss of coexistence and co-prosperity by
watching Arirang TV. We will aim to be an international
broadcasting network that is always gentle and charming.
Thank you.
