[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) is contributing to the efforts to overcome the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis by donating masks, raising funds, and participating in the good rent campaign.

KOCCA announced on the 13th that it donated masks to the Daegu region, which has suffered the greatest damage from COVID-19. As the virus spread, KOCCA canceled or postponed all domestic and international events scheduled until April as part of social distancing measures. Accordingly, 1,000 masks that had been secured for business purposes were delivered to sanitation workers at Nam-gu Office in Daegu.

KOCCA employees also launched a "National Fundraising Campaign to Overcome COVID-19" to support vulnerable groups, medical staff, and volunteers. The funds will be delivered to donation organizations such as the Community Chest of Korea, Disaster Relief Association, and the Korean Red Cross through the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

In addition, to ease the difficulties of small merchants residing in buildings operated by KOCCA, such as Studio Cube in Daejeon and DMS in Sangam, Seoul, rent will be reduced by 50% from this month until August.

Kim Young-jun, President of KOCCA, said, "At this critical time when the social role and responsibility of public institutions are more urgent than ever, we will actively participate in activities to overcome COVID-19. In particular, as the leading organization for promoting the content industry, we will make every effort to prepare follow-up measures to minimize industry damage after the crisis ends."
