History

Disney Junior began broadcasting on June 1, 2004, in the form of broadcasting with Korean subtitles on the screen of Disney Junior Asia (Playhouse Disney Asia). Then, in June 2010, Disney Channel Worldwide, which owns Disney Junior, and SK Telecom joined hands to establish Television Media Korea (now Disney Channel Korea Co. Ltd. in 2016), a joint venture, and from July 11, 2011, Dubbing and voice multi-service broadcasting began.

On November 2, 2011, SK Telecom physically spin-off its platform business, including TV Media Korea, into its new subsidiary, SK Planet.[1] After that, SK Planet sold all of its stock in TV Media Korea to The Walt Disney Company Korea, a Korean corporation of The Walt Disney Company, on September 30, 2015.[2] As a result, Disney was able to directly operate Disney Junior and its sister channel, the Disney Channel, in Korea.

Disney Junior along with Disney Channel on both Korea, Southeast Asia & Hong Kong was shut down on October 1, 2021, while it's content was replaced instead on Disney+.
