The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Drama Production Association, and the Korea Broadcasting Video Production Association announced on the 7th that they will invest 11 billion KRW in supplementary budget to support jobs for 1,000 broadcasting video production personnel. Starting from the 14th, applications will be accepted from small and medium-sized broadcasting video production companies struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Selected companies can receive up to 1.8 million KRW per person per month for up to six months for a maximum of ten employees. A Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism official explained, "This is an increase of 6.5 billion KRW compared to last year," adding, "The support targets have been expanded to include prospective workers such as graduates of broadcasting video-related departments, those who have completed broadcasting video-related education, and awardees at domestic and international film festivals." The official continued, "To encourage the conversion of hired personnel to regular employees, labor costs for existing employees will also be supported," but added, "However, those participating in other government job or work experience programs cannot receive overlapping support."
