KBS Hanminjok Radio (KoreanKBS 한민족방송) 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 (KoreanKBS 사회교육방송). 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]
