Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KBS 뉴스 at none against 韩联社's shown. KBS 뉴스 also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). 韩联社's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 41%). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
