KCC Opens Internet Ethics Experience Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 25th, the Korea Communications Commission opened the 'Seoul Internet Ethics Experience Center' inside the Seoul Science Museum in Hagye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul.

The Internet Ethics Experience Center is a learning space that anyone from toddlers to adults can use and enjoy. Through fun games and experiences, visitors can also learn about proper internet usage culture. Currently, the Korea Communications Commission operates Internet Ethics Experience Centers in four regions: Gyeonggi Bundang (2013, Korea Job World), Busan (since 2012, National Busan Science Museum), Gwangju (since 2012, National Gwangju Science Museum), and Daejeon (since 2019, National Central Science Museum).

The fifth center, the Seoul Internet Ethics Experience Center, was established at the Seoul Science Museum in Nowon-gu, Seoul, considering accessibility, school density, and the number of users to allow more citizens to use it.

The Korea Communications Commission plans to operate a cyber ethics experience center accessible online anytime and anywhere starting in December. In 2022, they are also promoting the opening of an Internet Ethics Experience Center in the Gangwon region.

Kim Jae-cheol, Director of the User Policy Bureau at the Korea Communications Commission, stated, “With the increase in digital media usage due to COVID-19, spreading a proper internet usage culture has become more important than ever,” and added, “The Korea Communications Commission will actively support many citizens in using the Internet Ethics Experience Center to establish a healthy internet usage culture.”
