Yongjin Kim
Yongjin Kim is an award-winning investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker. Previously the head of the investigative unit at KBS, South Korea’s largest public broadcaster, he co-founded the Korea Center for Investigative Journalism (KCIJ)-Newstapa in 2013, serving as editor-in-chief and CEO of the country's first nonprofit investigative newsroom for over a decade. Currently, he serves as the Editor for Domestic and Cross-border Collaborations at KCIJ.
Under his leadership, both KBS and KCIJ-Newstapa received numerous national and international journalism awards. He also led Newstapa’s participation in several major cross-border investigations with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Panama Papers project. He is the only South Korean journalist to hold membership in the ICIJ.
His debut documentary, Media Mafia: A Tale of Two Newspapers, took a bold look at the troubled legacy of South Korea’s two most powerful media conglomerates. Search and Seizure: The Rise of Insurrection is his second documentary feature, chronicling a turbulent period when press freedom and democracy were pushed to the brink.
Kim also teaches investigative journalism at Semyung University's Graduate School of Journalism and is the author of several bestselling books on media and democratic accountability.
