Reason for Proposal
The enactment of the Korean Wave Industry Promotion Act (Law No. 20501, promulgated on October 22, 2024, and effective from April 23, 2025) aims to provide a foundation for systematically promoting Korean Wave (Hallyu) support policies at a multi-ministerial level, which have been individually implemented by various government agencies. It also establishes the necessary provisions for supporting and nurturing the Hallyu industry, including human resource development and the creation of information systems. This will foster the sustainable development of Hallyu, strengthen national competitiveness through the expansion and growth of the Hallyu industry, and promote a comprehensive framework for Hallyu industry development.
