Radio 1 was originally launched as Kyeongseong Broadcasting Corporation (JODK) by the Japanese government in Korea on February 16, 1927, and later adopted the call sign HLKA in 1947 after the Republic of Korea got the call sign HL of the International Telecommunication Union. In 1965 the name was changed to KBS Radio 1.
