According to Yonhap News,

A research institute focused on studying Korean culture and content, as well as training related talent, has been established in Songdo, Incheon.

According to the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority on October 23rd, George Mason University’s Korea Campus in Songdo opened the "Global K-Culture Center" the day before.

The center will carry out academic conferences and research projects in fields such as media content, K-pop, games, sports, and tourism, while supporting the development of cultural industry professionals, fostering industry-academia cooperation, and offering overseas student training programs.

The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority expects the newly opened center to create synergies with the 'K-Con Land' project, which promotes the video and cultural industries.

Commissioner Yoon Won-seok of the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority stated, "We will connect the Cheongna Video Culture Complex, the airport economy zone in Yeongjong, and Songdo’s global network to create a K-content city that the world seeks." He further added, "We will grow the Incheon Free Economic Zone into Hollywood of Asia, where culture and economy coexist."
