KBS Hanminjok Radio ( Korean KBS 韓民族放送 ) is a South Korean anti-communist propaganda [ citation needed ] radio channel of the Korean Broadcasting System . It is the only channel that does not have FM frequency in South Korea. Until 2007 it was called as KBS Social Education Radio ( Korean KBS 社會敎育放送 ). It has two channels, but Hanminjok 2 Radio, the second channel usually relays the same programme with Hanminjok 1 Radio.

Until the mid-2000s, it broadcast content criticizing the North Korean system, but halted them after Inter-Korean summits . After its name was changed, the audience has been expanded not only to North Koreans but also to Hanminjok (Koreans) living in China, Japan, Taiwan and Russia. [1]
