Arirang TV (Korean: 아리랑 TV) is a South Korean international broadcaster owned and operated by Korea International Broadcasting Foundation. It broadcasts current news and programs offering political, economic, and cultural content from a Korean perspective to a global audience in 134 countries around the world. In 2011, Arirang TV was investigated in regards to an embezzlement scheme in which employees were being underpaid in order to siphon money into "borrowed-name" bank accounts. Throughout its history Arirang TV has functioned with a relatively low budget in comparison to similar international stations. In 2018, the network received another budget cut which led nearly 200 employees losing their jobs.
