The Korea Annual 2026, the only English-language yearbook published in South Korea, chronicles all of last year's major news stories across politics, the economy, society, culture and sports. Yonhap has annually published the English-language almanac to provide accurate and reliable information on Korea to foreign government organs, international organizations, diplomatic missions and people around the world interested in the country. This year's edition features a section on the 2025 presidential election, which examines how President Lee Jae Myung was elected in the country's second-ever early presidential vote since the establishment of its Constitution. It also introduces the key policies and accomplishments of the new administration during its first six months. The "Highlights in Korea" section underscores major issues that shaped Korean society over the past year, including the impeachment and removal of former President Yoon Suk Yeol, the Korea-U.S. tariff negotiations, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index's rise above the 4,000-mark and the continued global expansion of K-culture. Alongside major events in South Korea, the almanac also introduces key developments in North Korea in the areas of politics, the economy and society, as well as inter-Korean ties. The 480-page almanac is published in handbook form (132X207), making it easy to carry, and includes photos, graphic and statistics. 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 HOME Useful Links Korea Annual News All News National North Korea Economy/Finance Biz Culture/K-pop Sports Images Videos Top News Most Viewed Korean Newspaper Headlines Today in Korean History Yonhap News Summary Editorials from Korean Dailies Special Interviews Features Yonhap Korea Stories Information Korea in Brief Useful Links Weather Advertise with Yonhap News Agency Korea Annual Tools RSS Mobile Service About Yonhap About Us Contact Us Subscription Copyright Copyright (c) Yonhap News Agency.
