The association, which registered as a nonprofit organization last month, aims to boost understanding of Korea in the international community through the foreign-language media and mobile technology.

The Korea Herald, Korea Times, Korea Joongang Daily and Aju Business Daily are the founding members of the group.

“The Foreign Language Newspapers Association of Korea will play a crucial role in connecting Korea with the world systematically through online, offline and mobile news,” said Lee in a press release Wednesday.

The association added that it would aim to help introduce and promote Korean culture by increasing exchanges, and spur the development of cultures worldwide.

“Korea imported (cultural content) in the past, but now, we seek to actively introduce Korean culture and content to the world along with the Korean Wave,” said the association in a statement.

Lee Chang-sup, the Korea Times’ president and publisher; Kwak Young-kil, Aju Business Daily’s president and publisher; and Ryu Kwon-ha, the Korea Joongang Daily’s chief operating officer, will serve as the association’s directors. Hwang Jang-jin, managing editor of The Korea Herald, has been appointed its auditor.
