[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party announced on the 26th that Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in and Special Committee on Future Industry and Jobs Chairman Jo Myeong-hui will visit NCSoft on the 27th to hold an on-site meeting to listen to the current status of the game industry and the difficulties faced by the industry.

On the morning of the 27th, Chairman Kim, Secretary General Song Eon-seok, spokespersons Kim Eun-hye, Bae Jun-young, Kim Ye-ryeong, and members of the Special Committee on Future Industry and Jobs will visit the NCSoft headquarters located in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province, to hold a policy meeting with NCSoft CEO Kim Taek-jin and others.

This meeting was arranged to emphasize the importance of the high value-added and job-creating game industry, which has established itself as a representative leisure activity for the public in the non-face-to-face and untact era, and to hear voices from the field to foster the game industry as a national future growth industry.

Representative Jo said, "The game industry plays a key role in national competitiveness, accounting for 67% (about 8.2 trillion won) of the total export value of Korea's content industry," adding, "I hope this on-site visit will be a meaningful opportunity to predict the social changes in the game industry that will unfold in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution and post-COVID-19, and to seek regulatory improvement measures to nurture it as a future growth engine."
