  • A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.

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.

Lee Know, a member of the K-pop group Stray Kids, donated 100 million won, approximately 72,610 to 72,700 US dollars, to support victims of severe flooding in Nepal. The donation was made through the organization World Vision, with funds designated for life saving aid, food, nutrition, temporary shelter, clean water, and sanitation support for affected children and families. In a statement, Lee Know expressed his hope that the contribution would provide strength to those in difficult times and that both the victims and relief workers could return to their peaceful daily lives quickly.

According to JYP Entertainment, this contribution is part of a broader pattern of philanthropy. Lee Know previously donated 100 million won to World Vision's global food crisis response program in 2024, making him the youngest member of the Bob Pierce Honor Club. In 2025, he provided 100 million won each to the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul and a cat rescue organization. Additionally, he has participated in group donations with Stray Kids for wildfire relief in South Korea and a fire in Hong Kong in 2025.
