Sisain (Korean: 시사IN) is a weekly news magazine based in South Korea. It was founded in 2007 by former journalists of Sisa Journal who resigned due to a controversy over editorial independence.

History

The magazine's inaugural issue was published on August 29, 2007, following a labor strike and mass resignation of reporters protesting editorial interference concerning a Samsung-related article. Notable journalists including Joo Jin-woo and Ko Jae-yeol were among the founding members.^{[citation needed]}

In 2013, the Korea ABC Association reported Sisain as the highest in paid circulation among South Korean weekly news magazines, with over 46,000 paid copies between July 2011 and June 2012.^{[citation needed]}
