Korea Broadcasting, Media and Communications Commission Picks Media Guardians as Mascots

The Korea Broadcasting, Media and Communications Commission announced the results of its public character contest on April 17, 2026, and named the top entry, Media Guardians, as its official characters.

Media Guardians is made up of three characters, Miring, Bangtol and Tongdi, who promote the commission as one team.

The contest began alongside the launch of the agency. The Korea Broadcasting, Media and Communications Commission launched in March 2026 as a new agency succeeding the Korea Communications Commission. After its launch, the commission said on March 6 that it would hold a contest for characters to promote broadcasting, media and communications policy. In effect, the new agency handed the job of promoting its policies to characters chosen by the public. The top entry was decided about a month after the contest was announced.

Since the selection, Media Guardians has appeared regularly as digital goods. The commission released Media Guardians digital goods every month. On August 27, it released the September digital goods. The selection announcement and the digital goods news were posted on the commission's blog.
