The Korea Communications Commission designated the institutions and organizations after receiving recommendations from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and city/provincial governments for institutions and organizations meeting legal requirements. Newly designated institutions were also added in the Gwangju and Chungbuk regions, which were not designated last year.

The designation period is from January 1 to December 31 of next year. The Korea Communications Commission plans to consult with local governments where such institutions are not yet established, including Jeonnam, Gangwon, Ulsan, and Sejong, to ensure nationwide support without omission.
