1. Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism discusses film and video revitalization

On May 6, 2026, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism held the 3rd meeting of the Film and Video Subcommittee under the Cultural and Arts Policy Advisory Committee. Experts gathered to brainstorm ways to boost the film and video industry and set a new direction for growth. As Gyeonggi is a major hub for video content production in Korea, this policy direction is expected to have a significant impact on local companies.

2. Gyeonggi launches multi-faceted support for exporters and digital jobs

Gyeonggi Province announced it is pushing forward with comprehensive support to address trade uncertainties, agricultural pest risks, and shifting demands in the digital job market. For the digital sector linked to the content industry, the plan includes workforce development through AI-based vocational training and the creation of an investment fund for export-oriented companies. This is expected to help Gyeonggi-based content firms expand globally and strengthen their human capital.

3. Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) orders correction of unfair performing arts terms

The KFTC issued a corrective order regarding terms used by platforms like the Seoul Arts Center and Interpark that only allowed paid membership cancellations via phone.
