President Moon: "Artists' Employment Insurance to Improve Livelihood Stability and Creative Environment... Grateful for Public Support in the COVID Era"

[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sunhee] President Moon Jae-in stated regarding the 'Artist Employment Insurance System' implemented from the 10th, "It is the government's strong will to help stabilize the lives of cultural artists who were in blind spots and to improve the environment so that they can fully concentrate on creation," and added, "The government will listen more carefully to the voices from the art field and do its best to ensure that the efforts of cultural artists lead to good results."

On the same day, President Moon wrote on his social network service (SNS), "I express my special respect to the cultural artists of the Republic of Korea, and deeply thank the artists who have protected the art scene and comforted the frustrated people despite the difficulties of COVID-19."

President Moon encouraged, "We cheer for the results, but we do not well understand the pain in the process. Although cultural artists were far from the priority of major policies, they silently walked their own paths and accumulated capabilities, and based on those capabilities, they were able to achieve great results in many fields such as popular music and film."

He continued, "Just as fruitful fruits grow when the sunlight is good and the weather is fine, when the surrounding environment improves, we will be able to encounter greater art. Art that surprises us and the world does not come out in a short time but approaches us only after a long period of immersion and maturation. I always stand with the lives and works of artists and want to convey that I am always supporting them."
