Korea’s one-stop press release service

NEWSON is a Seoul-area PR agency that has distributed more than 468,000 press releases for 3,500+ brands since 2014. We are the only Korean service that sends your story to newsrooms and posts it on a Naver blog at the same time — so it is found in both news search and Naver’s blog search, where Korean consumers actually look.

What we do

01 / CORE

Press release distribution

Simultaneous delivery to 908 partner outlets — national dailies, business papers, trade and regional media. You choose the tier; we handle formatting for each newsroom.

02 / DIGITAL

Naver blog placement

Korea’s search market runs on Naver, not Google. Every mid-tier order and above also gets a post on the NEWSON Naver blog so your news shows up in Naver search as well as the news tab.

03 / EDITORIAL

Editorial advertising & interviews

CEO interviews, feature stories and product reviews written in a journalist’s voice and placed in the category that fits — economy, IT, lifestyle.

04 / CRISIS

Crisis response & corrections

When a negative story breaks, we push positive coverage to move search rankings and, where possible, negotiate corrections or rebuttal pieces.

05 / SEARCH

Portal visibility

Keyword strategy and release timing tuned for Naver and Daum integrated search, news tabs and related-search terms.

06 / COPY

Press release writing

Our copywriters interview you and draft the release in Korean news style. Korean-language writing is ₩33,000 (VAT included); English drafts are translated and localized.

How it works

  1. 01Brief & quote (same day) — tell us your news, goal and budget in English; an account executive proposes a tier and quote.
  2. 02Korean release (1–2 days) — we translate or write the release in Korean news style and send you the draft for approval.
  3. 03Outlet selection & distribution (1 day) — you pick 1st–3rd choice outlets within your tier; we submit to the newsroom.
  4. 04Publication report (2–24 h) — you receive the live article URLs and we track Naver search exposure.
  5. 05Follow-up — blog placement, secondary coverage and ongoing campaigns.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with companies outside Korea?
Yes. Many of our clients are overseas brands, exporters and startups entering Korea. You can brief us in English; we write or translate the release into Korean news style and reply in English.
How much does it cost?
From ₩55,000 per release for email distribution to 908 outlets, up to ₩660,000 for guaranteed placement on a top-tier outlet. All prices include 10% VAT and are published on the pricing page.
Is publication guaranteed?
Minor tier and above guarantees publication on one outlet of that tier (you can name your 1st–3rd choice). The basic tier is email distribution only — pickup depends on newsworthiness.
How fast is it?
Articles usually appear within about 2 hours of submission on business days. You can also schedule a release for a specific date and time in advance.
Can we include a phone number or URL in the article?
No. Korean portal rules prohibit phone numbers, URLs, detailed addresses, QR codes and social handles inside news articles and images. We will guide you on what can be included.
How do we pay from abroad?
Korean bank transfer and credit card (via newsonwire.co.kr) are standard. Tell your account executive where you are based and they will confirm the simplest option for international payment.
