List of magazines in South Korea

The magazine publishing in Korea emerged as a result of the interactions with Western culture.[1] Early magazines aimed at raising awareness of Koreans. However, later political developments shaped the goals of magazines. Following the partition of South and North Korea the leftist periodicals disappeared in the country.[2] There have been some international magazine titles in South Korea, including Elle which was started in 2012.[3]
