YTN2

Overview

YTN2 is a South Korean cable, satellite, and IPTV television channel operated by YTN. Launched in 2011, the channel originally specialized in weather programming but has since evolved into a “news-tainment” network that presents news-themed documentaries, in-depth features, and lifestyle shows.
Its flagship program, “Newsmentary: War and People,” exemplifies YTN2’s unique format—combining factual reporting with documentary storytelling to explore major historical and social issues. Rather than delivering daily newscasts, YTN2 focuses on long-form, context-driven journalism that interprets current affairs through human stories, expert commentary, and cinematic presentation.
The channel’s lineup includes health programs (Medical Insight), cultural features (Women Who Stand Out), travel and leisure content (Genuine Camper), and social-trend shows (Wise Pick), offering an informative and accessible mix of documentary and lifestyle programming.
Live streaming and on-demand videos are available on YTN2’s official website ( → ON AIR ● : sometimes offline ) , allowing viewers in and outside Korea to watch online.
