Chosun Ilbo (German daily newspaper of Korea ) is South Korea's newspaper with the largest circulation (2,380,000) as well as the oldest still appearing newspaper in the country (first edition March 5, 1920, when Korea was a colony of Japan ). Until the setting in 1940, the newspaper was called Chōsen Nippō ( Japanese 朝鮮 日報 ), only when it was re-established in 1945 it was given its current name. Chosun Ilbo offers not only a Korean, but also a Chinese, English ( The Chosun Ilbo ) and Japanese online edition.

Their political stance is considered conservative, like Dong-a Ilbo and JoongAng Ilbo , as well as the Saenuri party inclined. She is critical of liberals like Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung . For this reason, the newspaper sometimes criticizes these people and their supporters in conservatively colored articles, for example about history, the presidency of Roh Moo-hyun. Another characteristic compared to other South Korean newspapers is their much more pronounced anti-Japanese stance.

The place of publication is Seoul .
