[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 14th that it has been finally selected for the 'Regional-Linked Advanced CT (Culture Technology) Demonstration Project' competition hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency, securing 5.1 billion KRW in national funding.

This project, newly established this year, is an R&D initiative aimed at integrating advanced technology into idle public facilities such as local museums, performance halls, theme parks, and stadiums.

Accordingly, Daegu City, together with Kyungpook National University (Advanced Information and Communication Convergence Industry Technology Institute), will invest a total of 10 billion KRW by 2022, including 5.1 billion KRW in national funds, 3.6 billion KRW in city funds, and 1.3 billion KRW in private capital, to develop ultra-realistic video and screening systems and remodel the Daegu Culture and Arts Center into a Live Share performance hall.

The Daegu Culture and Arts Center, which has been used as a multipurpose cultural performance facility for 37 years, will be transformed into a regional representative Live Share advanced performance hall utilizing 5G networks and advanced CT technology, enabling immersive and vivid viewing experiences even from remote locations.

Daegu City explained that this will allow a more prompt response to the reality where non-face-to-face performance culture has expanded due to the impact of COVID-19 and there is increasing demand for new performance cultures and venues that enable interactive communication beyond real-time screenings.

Furthermore, it is expected to secure a technological foundation to provide high-quality cultural performance content such as K-pop, mostly held in the metropolitan area, to local citizens using ultra-realistic technology, and through this, expand corporate capabilities in related industrial fields centered on Live Share, including the performance culture industry, ICT, and content industries.

Park Hee-jun, Director of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of Daegu City, stated, "Through the selection and promotion of this advanced CT demonstration project, we will focus on fostering the regional Live Share content industry as a future new industry in Daegu and establish a foundation to expand excellent local cultural performance content to the global market."
