Disney Channel (Korean: 디즈니채널) is a South Korean cable and satellite channel owned by Disney Channels Worldwide, a unit of the Disney–ABC Television Group, itself a unit of the Disney Media Networks division of The Walt Disney Company. The South Korean version of the American Disney Channel replaced the Southeast Asian version which was available in the country with Korean subtitles since June 1, 2002 until June 30, 2011.

History

The company, which would operate all future Disney-branded channels in South Korea, was established as a joint venture on June 1, 2010, then legally called Television Media Korea Ltd. (TMK); at launch, Disney Channels Worldwide owned 49% of shares, and SK Telecom (a mobile network operator and the flagship company of South Korean SK Group's telecommunication businesses) owned the other 51%.^[1]

When a certain business of SK Telecom was spun off into a subsidiary named SK Planet on October 1, 2011, Telecom's share in the company was also taken over by Planet.

On October 1, 2015, SK Planet sold their stake in the company to Disney Channels Worldwide, making Disney to take full control of the channel. In February 2016, the company changed its legal name to Disney Channels Korea Ltd.

The company also operates the South Korean version of Disney Junior, which replaced the Southeast Asian equivalent on South Korean television platforms on July 11, 2011.
