CJ Cultural Foundation 15th Anniversary... "Committed to Discovering Young Creators and Expanding Cultural Diversity"

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] CJ Cultural Foundation announced on the 27th that, on the occasion of its 15th anniversary, it will continue to discover creators in the underserved areas of popular culture and do its best to become a leading cultural foundation contributing to the diversity of K-culture.

Founded in 2006 based on the philosophy of former chairman Lee Byung-chul, "Without culture, there is no country," CJ Cultural Foundation has been supporting creators in music, original musicals, and film through its 'Tune Up', 'Stage Up', and 'Story Up' support programs, helping them successfully enter the market.

Not limited to financial support, the foundation has contributed to expanding cultural diversity in Korea by systematically supporting the entire process from incubation to market entry. Recognizing these efforts, CJ Cultural Foundation won the grand prize at the Korea Mecenat Awards, established to promote corporate support for culture and arts, in 2010 and 2017.

A CJ Cultural Foundation official stated, "CJ Cultural Foundation has reached its 15th anniversary during a particularly difficult time for the cultural and arts sector due to COVID-19. For Korea to become a true cultural powerhouse, a healthy cultural and artistic ecosystem must be established, and mainstream and non-mainstream cultures must coexist harmoniously." He added, "Going forward, CJ Cultural Foundation will be a reliable cultural guardian for creators’ dreams to be realized in a broader world and will strive to contribute to advancing Korea’s future as a cultural powerhouse."
