Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every source for this story reports from South Korea.

Girl group aespa will release a special digital single titled "SYNK: COMPLaeXITY" on Monday. The release features four solo tracks, one from each member, according to SM Entertainment. The songs were first premiered during the group's concerts at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on August 7 and 8. The tracks include Karina's "16 Bit," Winter's "Saddle Up," Giselle's "ByeB4Hello," and Ningning's "I Love You But I Gotta Let You Go." As part of their international tour, the quartet is scheduled to perform in Mexico City this Friday. The tour will cover 25 regions globally, including 10 additional cities in North America.
