On 30 August 2026, Hyojung (Kelly) Shin has appeared on KBS1 Radio's <Current Affairs Headquarters with Jeong Gwanyong (정관용의 시사본부)> to discuss Korea's so-called 'fake news law' two months into its enforcement.

The segment focused on the recently amended Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection (the "Network Act"), which now regulates the circulation of false or manipulated information online. The amendment has been widely referred to as the 'fake news law' since before it took effect. Kelly explained how the law came to be known by that name and how the Act defines the false or manipulated information it targets.

The discussion then turned to the questions listeners ask most often about the law's reach: whether hate speech falls within its scope, whether private conversations such as KakaoTalk chats can be punished, and whether an author who deletes a false post is relieved of liability.

The conversation also covered what happens once a post is reported as false information, including whether it is taken down immediately and how the reporting and removal process works in practice. Drawing on real-life examples, the segment was designed so that listeners without a legal background could relate the law to their own online activity.
