Cho Hyun-rae, head of the Korea Creative Content Agency, stated, "Content IP crosses various media and platforms, transforming the related industrial landscape," adding, "We will accelerate the global expansion of K-content through close discussions among industry, academia, and institutions."

The advisory committee is composed of experts from ten fields including animation, comics/webtoons, characters/merchandise, games, broadcasting/video/media, music/entertainment, storytelling, regional content, immersive content, and cultural policy. At its first meeting, the committee plans to diagnose the characteristics of IP businesses in each field and identify appropriate policy demands. A Korea Creative Content Agency official said, "Based on the discussions, we plan to prepare a draft for establishing an integrated policy roadmap for related promotion."

The advisory committee will also discuss the direction and implementation plan for the 'Content IP Expo (tentative name),' which will be held for the first time this year.
