Major Policies and Support Programs
1. Korea Creative Content Agency Launches Production-to-Export Support
The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) is rolling out a series of programs targeting the stages following content production. By bundling performance research with overseas screenings and linking participation in content IP markets and international exhibitions, they are strengthening a full-cycle system from production to export. Gyeonggi-based content companies are expected to be key beneficiaries of these overseas-linked projects.
2. Korea Communications Commission Sets Standards for Large-Scale Info-Comm Providers
On May 8, 2026, during its 7th meeting of the year, the Korea Communications Commission drafted an amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the "Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc." to combat the spread of illegal and fabricated information online. The amendment specifies criteria for large-scale information and communication service providers and posters, which will likely impact the entire online content distribution ecosystem. Content and platform firms in Gyeonggi-do should keep an eye on this as they may fall under these regulations.
